I have also taken\u003cbr\u003epains, when I have been off on a walk, or have been camping, to notice\u003cbr\u003ethe parties of campers and trampers that I have chanced to meet, and\u003cbr\u003ehave made a note of their failures or success. The experiences of the\u003cbr\u003epleasant days when, in my teens, I climbed the mountains of Oxford\u003cbr\u003eCounty, or sailed through Casco Bay, have added largely to the stock of\u003cbr\u003enotes; and finally the diaries of \"the war,\" and the recollections of\u003cbr\u003e\"the field,\" have contributed generously; so that, with quotations, and\u003cbr\u003esome help from other sources, a sizable volume is ready.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough it is prepared for young men,--for students more especially,--it\u003cbr\u003econtains much, I trust, that will prove valuable to campers-out in general.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI am under obligations to Dr. Elliott Coues, of the United States Army,\u003cbr\u003efor the valuable advice contained in Chapter XIII.; and I esteem it a\u003cbr\u003epiece of good fortune that his excellent work (\"Field Ornithology\")\u003cbr\u003eshould have been published before this effort of mine, for I hardly know\u003cbr\u003ewhere else I could have found the information with authority so\u003cbr\u003eunquestionable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProf. Edward S. Morse has increased the debt of gratitude I already owe\u003cbr\u003ehim, by taking his precious time to draw my illustrations, and prepare\u003cbr\u003ethem for the engraver.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMr. J. Edward Fickett of Portland, a sailmaker, and formerly of the\u003cbr\u003enavy, has assisted in the chapter upon tents; and there are numbers of\u003cbr\u003emy young friends who will recognize the results of their experience, as\u003cbr\u003ethey read these pages, and will please to receive my thanks for making\u003cbr\u003ethem known to me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePORTLAND, ME., January, 1877.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHOW TO CAMP OUT.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGETTING READY.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hope of camping out that comes over one in early spring, the laying\u003cbr\u003eof plans and arranging of details, is, I sometimes think, even more\u003cbr\u003eenjoyable than reality itself. As there is pleasure in this, let me\u003cbr\u003eadvise you to give a practical turn to your anticipations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThink over and decide whether you will walk, go horseback, sail, camp\u003cbr\u003eout in one place, or what you will do; then learn what you can of the\u003cbr\u003eroute you propose to go over, or the ground where you intend to camp for\u003cbr\u003ethe season. If you think of moving through or camping in places unknown\u003cbr\u003eto you, it is important to learn whether you can buy provisions and get\u003cbr\u003elodgings along your route. See some one, if you can, who has been where\u003cbr\u003eyou think of going, and put down in a note-book all he tells you that\u003cbr\u003eis important.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146357850352,"sku":"2940015715385","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015715385","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
