TIME-LIFE: THE AMERICAN WILDERNESS
I have looked through a lot of old books about camping, the outdoors, etc., and I have yet to find any that are as good looking as the Time-Life: American Wilderness series. Pictures and writing are both wonderful. (Ed Abbey edited the “Cactus Country” edition.) The best part about these book is that they’re not too hard to find at your local thrift/used book shop, but if you’re not near one of those, go on over to your favorite online auctioneer and pick a few out.
Y’all have some of these? Got a favorite?

I did not have much expert in camping or setting branches of fire, but then my little son asked me when we will go camping and I could not resist his small poppy eyes. So I had to buy some book to get ready for our trip. The book shop I went to had wide selection of guides and survival books. In the end I chose Survive!: Essential Skills and Tactics to Get You Out of Anywhere – Alive by Les Stroud. It was excellent choice. It had exactly what I needed for our trip. Only thing which could be improved is the section about a driver getting stuck. Overall I recommend it without hesitation.

I have the entire set. North Woods, Northwest Coast, and Grand Canyon are some of my favorites…but they are all good.
