Hunting Fishing And Camping

The founder of the mail order catalog shares his instructions and advice on hunting, fishing and camping.

There cannot be a hunter and angler who has not, at some time or other, daydreamed about building his or her own camp. Hunting & Fishing Camp Builder’s Guide provides the concepts, plans, and know-how to turn a daydream into a reality. Monte Burch applies decades of how-to skills to describe the “ins and outs” of design and construction. From the cabin to the furniture inside, you can do it all yourself and create the camp or lodge of your dreams.

This is a new release of the original 1942 edition.

The Lost Art of the Sportsman is an exhaustive reference text and a compulsively addictive narrative from the turn of the 1900s. Francis H. Buzzacott would find little in common with the hiker and camper of contemporary times. This is the American frontiersman at his best—no-holds-barred approach to sporting. And while some of the advice and information in The Lost Art of the Sportsman has undoubtedly been replaced with the advent of new technology, what’s surprising is just how much of the book is still essential advice and knowledge for the modern hunter, fisher, and camper. Inside, you’ll learn: • What to bring on a fishing, hunting, or camping trip • Recipes for easy campfire meals • Hunting, fishing, and trapping tips for a variety of animals • How to deal with an emergency in a remote place • Clothing choices for a variety of situations • Tips and secrets for all varieties of firearms Faithfully reproduced exactly how it was originally printed, The Lost Art of the Sportsman comes complete with hundreds of original pieces of line drawings and artwork, a true collector’s edition for hunters, fisherman, and campers alike.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
