Camp and Trail Methods 



Interesting Information for All Lovers of Nature 

 the Outdoors. What to Take and What to Do. 



THE author, E. Kreps, who has spent 

 several years in various parts of 

 North America camping, hunting, 

 and trapping, says : "A life in the open 

 air calls for knowledge which a very large 

 number of human beings, because of their 

 environments, cannot gain, except when 

 the same is imparted by some more for- 

 tunate one who has learned it from exper- 

 ience. There are many who live this out- 

 door life and these old seasoned woodsmer. 

 know, perhaps, all that is contained in this 

 book, but there are others, a much larger 

 number, who do not know the ntany things 

 relating to outdoor life, which h is almost 

 necessary that one should be well ecquaint- 

 ed with when he or she make their first 

 trip into the fastnesses of Mother Nature. 



"There are many books on woodcraft, , 

 written by sportsmen, fishermen, and campers, but only a few of these 

 books were written by practical woodsmen and for people who want 

 to belong to that class. Such books are intended for the big game 

 hunter, or the fisherman who goes for a short stay into some easily 

 accessible location, well equipped and with a guide who does all the 

 work and looks after the comfort of those whom he has in charge. 

 This book is a decided departure from that class, as it not only gives 

 the information needed by the tourist and summer camper, but gives 

 special attention to the needs of those practical ones whose calling, 

 whatever it may be, leads them into the wilds and holds them there at 

 all times of the year ; the hunter, the fisherman, the trapper, the pros- 

 pector, the surveyor ; all these and many ohers will find much valuable 

 information in this book "
