Synopsis

Camp, explore, hike, discover, learn woodcraft--get outdoors and be at home in nature all through the year! There's so much to do and discover with this truly Handy Book as a guide. Written for children in 1882, and valuable for kids or adults today, the author suggests projects, crafts, plans, games, and schemes for camping trips, hikes, or the backyard. It contains plans for 16 kinds of kites and hot-air balloons and fishing tackle, how to make and stock an aquarium, to construct a water telescope and how to camp out without a tent. Or in a hut made from pine boughs. How to build 10 kinds of boats, including a flatboat with a covered cabin. Iceboats, too. Squirt guns with astonishing range and authority. One-person canoes. Bird calls. Learn to teach a dog to retrieve. And much more. Daniel Carter Beard was a founder of the scouting movement in America and wanted kids to enjoy the out-of-doors as much as he did. In his books, Beard helped preserve invaluable folkways that can instill self-reliance and a deeper appreciation of nature--all while having a world of fun.

All the stuff I wish I had learned as a kid
I liked this book for the great insight into times long gone. Written in 1882 by men recalling the rewarding times of their childhood experiences, it passes on, with practical, precise and in-depth instruction, useful skills and entertaining games, that are far better designed to develop the body-mind coordination of a young human than sitting on a couch all day learning to excel at video games and social media. And as an added benefit, having this book will ensure that when the lights go out and zombies eat your friends, there's no need for you to go hungry or get board.

And as an added benefit, having this book will ensure that when the lights go out and zombies eat your friends, there's no need for you to go hungry or get board. Want: a boat? make one. a net? make one to learn to sail? Instructions are in there to catch food or to get a wild pet? just follow the easy instructions for setting traps, making a fishing pole, an elastic gun, a boomerang, a bow n arrow, how to train hunting animals, etc to drink water? how to harvest fresh water in the wild to raise a wild bird nestling? Has instructions for number of species to entertain a crowd? Explains lots of simple party tricks and there's even an original short play in there with complete stage directions and cut-out designs for shadow puppets. Also in there- lots of natural art projects, and how to make all sorts of interesting physics-based toys- like a camera obscura, flying spinning things and whirligigs that used to (and still will) interest a young person for hours- provided i suppose they don't have access to a television or an ipad. And lots of other stuff- all that can be made from easy to find cheap stuff. It's a great book, although with the caveat that some of the things are (understandably) outdated, such as assuming everyone has access to barrel staves from any of the many old unused wooden barrels just lying around their yard- also the bit about using a whip to train a dog (no doubt it works- but not recommended- after all it's a mentality from two guys who grew up when people still owned slaves, and also never heard of "The dog whisperer"). It also assumes that kids can handle any sort of tool including guns and knives. Although some enlightened folks might view that last one as a plus, I would recommend at least supervising those activities till they can. All in all though a classic, still relevant, great how-to book- if for nothing else- just as an example of a how to make a great how-to book.

Great book teaches the old ways of making things for sport.
I have the original book published in 1882. Too old and did not want to ruin it, so I bought a copy of it. Excellent book for making your own fishing supplies, traps for small animals. etc.for just a few things. As times get rough, its better to be prepared.

Son enjoys
My 11 year old enjoys looking through this to mark the things he wants to do with his dad. The only complaint I have it since it’s an old book, some of the materials suggested are quite outdated. But his dad enjoys the challenge of finding something to work in place of anything that isn’t quite up to date. Overall, recommend.
