Nessmuk believed in going light and living well in the woods, and his little classic still teaches it: the right kit, the best campfire, and how not to get lost. Wise, witty, and endlessly practical, it still fits in a coat pocket. Learn timeless camp and canoe skills from a beloved old woodsman who traveled light his whole life.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
