Average Customer Ratings:
Daniel C. Beard was not only a founder of Boy Scouting in America, but also a prolific and engaging author. His great passion was making boys and girls feel at home in nature, to allow them to experience its wonders while fostering their sense of self-sufficiency and independence. The present volume introduces young people to the pleasures and challenges of camping. In it, Beard suggests any number of projects, plans, and schemes to entertain those whose travels take them into open fields and forests, who want to know everything from how to build kites and birdhouses to snow houses and snow men.
There are chapters on packing a horse, on making clothes and moccasins, on camp cooking, on building piers, boats, and sleds. As usual, the directions are clear, the diagrams simple, and the activities seductive. This is an age when the most common phrase one hears from children is "I"m bored." With this book in hand, you can send them into the smallest woodland plot and be sure they'll have an activity that will occupy them for hours, as well as projects that are not only fun to do but that actually work.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great outdoor book for kids (and grownups)! -
This book makes me think of the Little Rascals! It has great activities from a time that has all but disappeared. A time when kids played outside from sunup to sundown and created their own world of imaginative play. The only note of caution I would have is that many projects require materials that may not be readily available to kids in urban areas. On the other hand, it's a great opportunity to be creative in locating materials to reuse and recycle. This is a wonderful resource to get kids back outside and interested in using their own imaginations.

The Field and Forest Handy Book: - 
This is a very good book with a lot of information about outdoor life in days gone by. The snowshoe section contained some excellent information.
Back to Nature -
I got this for my 16 year old son. We recently moved from town to a very rural area, and he's been complaining there's nothing to do...so I got him this book and a tool kit. There's a lot of neat stuff to build, and useful survival information. I recommend this for older boys, and "Dangerous Book for Boys" for the younger set.
Amazons Service sucks -

Well afer spending an hour on the phone with someone from the Philippines my problem was not solved and I am pissed and will never buy anything else from amazon. Thanks amazon for wreaking my christmans.

A fun read. Informative. Have been an outdoorsman for 40 years and I learned some new skills from this book.
Content is aimed primarily at youth of years-gone-by... I smiled plenty of times while reading it.
