Following on from the huge success of her previous titles,
Wilderness Weekends (2015) and Britain's Best Small Hills (2016),
outdoor guru Phoebe Smith returns with her top tips about
wilderness cooking on a single stove, including fifty recipes for
breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and snacks. She also adds that
secret extra ingredient to each recipe - an incredible sense of
place - from moorland to coast, woodland, mountains or riverside.
This innovative title is packed with advice on how to get the most
out of walking in wild places, wild camping and wild cooking.
Heading out into the wilds is incredible, but the food you eat when
you go wild can be unimaginative - all pre-packed, dehydrated
camping meals crammed with salt and colouring. This book, the first
written specifically for wild campers, teaches you the tricks to
make the tastiest food with limited ingredients and all at the
lightest weight so that you can be assured of good food that won't
break your back. Bradt's Wilderness Cookbook also includes
countryside safety tips, information about understanding the
countryside and suggestions and instructions for things to make on
the fly, be it an item of cutlery or a driftwood den. The basics of
foraging are also covered, from using sphagnum moss to clean your
pots to finding cockles to add to your stew or bilberries to mix
into your porridge. No matter where you are, what type of terrain
you're covering or what season it is, this inspirational new title
will have a recipe to fit the moment, from Turmeric Pitta Eggs or
Cinnamon Lemon Muffins for breakfast to Brunch Burritos or Super
Couscous for lunch, Campfire Rosemary and Nettle Mushrooms for
dinner and, to round off, Real Ale Pancakes or Campfire Tarts for
dessert. With Bradt's Wilderness Cookbook, you can ensure the wild
food you prepare offers maximum taste and energy for minimum kit,
weight and hassle.
This collection of more than 150 trail-tested recipes, the
meat-free sequel to the best-selling Lipsmackin' Backpackin',
features instructions for at-home preparation, packable trailside
cooking instructions, nutritional information, serving details, and
the weight of the ingredients.

Who are the real campers? Through-hiking backpackers traversing the
Appalachian Trail? The family in an SUV making a tour of national
parks and sleeping in tents at campgrounds? People committed to the
RV lifestyle who move their homes from state to state as season and
whim dictate? Terence Young would say: all of the above. Camping is
one of the country's most popular pastimes-tens of millions of
Americans go camping every year. Whether on foot, on horseback, or
in RVs, campers have been enjoying themselves for well more than a
century, during which time camping's appeal has shifted and
evolved. In Heading Out, Young takes readers into nature and
explores with them the history of camping in the United
States.Young shows how camping progressed from an impulse among
city-dwellers to seek temporary retreat from their exhausting
everyday surroundings to a form of recreation so popular that an
industry grew up around it to provide an endless supply of
ever-lighter and more convenient gear. Young humanizes camping's
history by spotlighting key figures in its development and a
sampling of the campers and the variety of their excursions.
Readers will meet William H. H. Murray, who launched a craze for
camping in 1869; Mary Bedell, who car camped around America for
12,000 miles in 1922; William Trent Jr., who struggled to end
racial segregation in national park campgrounds before World War
II; and Carolyn Patterson, who worked with the U.S. Department of
State in the 1960s and 1970s to introduce foreign service personnel
to the "real" America through trailer camping. These and many
additional characters give readers a reason to don a headlamp, pull
up a chair beside the campfire, and discover the invigorating and
refreshing history of sleeping under the stars.

'A scout must always be prepared at any moment to do his duty, and
to face danger in order to help his fellow-men.' A startling
amalgam of Zulu war-cry and imperial and urban myth, of borrowed
tips on health and hygiene, and object lessons in woodcraft, Robert
Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys (1908) is the original blueprint
and 'self-instructor' of the Boy Scout Movement. One of the
all-time bestsellers in the English-speaking world, this primer of
'yarns and pictures' constitutes probably the most influential
manual for youth ever published. Yet the book is at the same time a
roughly composed hodge-podge of jingoist lore and tracker legend,
padded with lengthy quotations from adventure fiction and
Baden-Powell's own autobiography, and seamed through with the
multiple anxieties of its time: fears of degeneration, concerns
about masculinity and self-restraint, invasion paranoia. Elleke
Boehmer's edition of Scouting for Boys reprints the original text
and illustrations, and her fine introduction investigates a book
that has been cited as an authority by militarists and pacifists,
capitalists and environmentalists alike.
A portable and family-friendly collection of some of the most
classic and entertaining scary stories--perfect to share around the
campfire. These stories can be read aloud or easily retold; either
way, your fellow campers may want to sleep with the light on.
