Free "Woodcraft and camping" by George Washington Sears "Nessmuk"

[crosslandkelly]

A few weeks ago i decided The house was looking like an annex of the British Library, so I got myself a Kindle. While looking through the outdoors books to download, I came across "Woodcraft and camping" by Nessmuk for free. I remember reading some extracts on the forum a couple of years back but could never find the book. It is very funny, informative and just as
interesting now, as when it was written in the1880's. Unfortunatly it has no drawings in the free edition but it is a great read and well worth getting if you have a Kindle.

If you have a Kindle,(I love mine.) there are loads of these books available for free, also you dont just have to download from amazon. Kepharts book would be great but I thinh people like Mors Kochansky may be too recent. Thanks for the replies guys.

You can also find these on openlibrary.org which fronts archive.org and has an easier interface to access ebooks (for those who have a kindle you can send directly to a kindle )

You will find the amazon bulk translations are normally done from the text only versions

If you want pictures then you will normally have to source elsewhere (e.g. openlibrary.org/archive.org) If you get a PDF version (in text with pictures format rather than scanned pages) then you can email it as an attachment to your associated kindle email address with a subject line "convert" to convert it directly to kindle format which often reads easier than a pdf.

Thanks for the info.

The link seems to be to an abridged edition. For example, the section describing an Indian camp has several missing bits such making a "lunch" from pork and slices of bread.
