Camp Cookery

Master the art of preparing nutritious and satisfying meals far from civilization with Camp Cookery by Horace Kephart (1862-1931). First published in 1910, this compact and immensely practical volume became an essential companion for explorers, hunters, fishermen, and campers traversing the North American wilderness.

Kephart, a renowned librarian, ethnographer, and author of the seminal Camping and Woodcraft, distilled his extensive personal experience into this focused manual. The book is celebrated for its emphasis on lightweight, non-perishable provisioning, resourcefulness in the field, and methods for cooking well with only basic equipment and often an open fire.

This book is an indispensable classic for woodcraft enthusiasts, historical campers, backcountry cooks, and anyone seeking the authentic, time-tested methods for efficient and resourceful wilderness cooking and provisioning.
