Have you ever asked yourself how you can finance the RV lifestyle? Most of us have. If you're thinking or dreaming about becoming a full-time or part-time RVer, and you must work to make it happen, then this is the book for you. In it you will find what we've learned (often the hard way) in over eight years of workamping while full-time RVing. We provide many tested links to the websites of those businesses that hire workampers and volunteers. The advice we offer is based on our own experience. We take you from doing the initial homework, to choosing the right job type for you, to the writing a workamper resume, to the interview, and way beyond. We discuss what other considerations there may be such as taxes and home domicile. We wind it up with a chapter on our most memorable lessons learned. We have had many experiences working on the road, most good, but some not so much. This book would also make a great gift for a would-be workamper or for folks who wonder why we do this.

You're already an experienced camper when it comes to camping at developed campgrounds. But what would it be like to turn onto a dirt road leading to a distant mountain range or perhaps out to an isolated desert area leaving most folks behind where solitude and serenity rule? No inconsiderate all night partiers "sharing" their music with you whether you like it or not. No generators. No campsite restrictions for parking your vehicle at exactly four inches from some barrier. No need for reservations. And, typically there are no campsite fees Of course even off road camping on land under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, and state parks do have rules. But their rules are usually much less restrictive than those of a developed campground managed by some corporation or other entity. You have much more freedom to choose your own campsite and park your vehicle where you want. OHV is an abbreviation for "Off Highway Vehicle" and is a term used by government jurisdictions with authority over an area designated for legal use of vehicles for the purpose of traveling literally off the highway. The Beginners Guide to OHV Camping introduces you to the concepts of combining the skill set of off road travel with simple, safe, and comfortable camping. There exists a wealth of scenery in our forests, deserts, and plains throughout our country which are virtually unscathed by development, vandals, and inconsiderate campers leaving their trash behind. The reason these areas remain preserved is the fact that they are only accessible by vehicles designed for off road travel therefore significantly reduces the amount of overall traffic into these areas. Off road camping enthusiasts are very protective of these environments which they visit year after year while introducing new generations of campers to the beauty of the outdoors. Here a just a few topics covered in The Beginners Guide to OHV Camping: In addition to camping equipment, The Beginners Guide to OHV Camping recommends a host of tools you won't want to be without specifically for addressing off road travel situations. Is your off road vehicle equipped with oversize tires? The Beginners Guide to OHV Camping reminds you of what you might be forgetting. Follow the author on one of his favorite desert trips as The Beginners Guide to OHV Camping teaches you how to read topographic maps along with a compass to navigate the backcountry. Know your limitations when evaluating trail conditions including mud, snow, soft sand, and creek crossings. The Beginners Guide to OHV Camping offers advice for addressing these types of obstacles. Visiting gold country? The Beginners Guide to OHV Camping cautions you about the potential dangers of old exposed mines.

CAMPING AND WOODCRAFT, VOL. 1
By Horace Kephart

Excerpt from Preface
The present work is based upon my "Book of Camping and Woodcraft," which appeared in 1906. All of the original material here retained has been revised, and so much new matter has been added that this is virtually a new work, filling two volumes instead of one.
My first book was intended as a pocket manual for those who travel where there are no roads and who perforce must go light. I took little thought of the fast-growing multitude who go to more accessible places and camp out just for the pleasure and healthfulness of open-air life. It had seemed to me that outfitting a party for fixed camp within reach of wagons was so simple that nobody would want advice about it. But I have learned that such matters are not so easy to the multitude as I had assumed; and there are, to be sure, "wrinkles," plenty of them, in equipping and managing stationary camps that save trouble, annoyance, or expense. Consequently I am adding several chapters expressly for that class of campers, and I treat the matter of outfitting much more fully than before.

Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.
This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making.
We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.

This book describes the events surrounding the establishment and build-up of an innovative approach to a Jewish summer sleepaway camp experience. The events described in the book took place during the five summers of 1999-2003. Kibbutz Yarok served as an adjunct to its sponsor Camp Newman, located in the Santa Rosa mountains of northern California. Newman is one of fourteen summer sleepaway camps supported and supervised by the Union for Reform Judaism. The kibbutz was an experiment in Jewishly inflected outdoor living. It was designed to be a cooperative, eco-friendly enterprise inhabited, built, and managed by teenaged Newman campers who chose to volunteer for the assignment. The author of the book lent his financial support to the venture via annual grants and made periodic on-site visits for the purpose of monitoring progress.
