Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Daniel C. Beard (1850-1941), a founder of the Boy Scouts of America, introduces the adventure inherent in the great outdoors and offers simple solutions for overcoming various obstacles in The Field and Forest Handy Book: New Ideas for Out of Doors, first published in 1906 and now reissued in a facsimile edition. Readers can learn how to make a luna kite in the spring, a cheap boat in the summer, an altar camp stove in the autumn and a toboggan in the winter. For those who want to stay indoors, a chapter titled "How to Build Play Houses, Secret Castles and How to Make Mysterious Chests" is included.

Customer Reviews
The Field and Forest Handy Book: 
This is a very good book with a lot of information about outdoor life in days gone by. The snowshoe section contained some excellent information.
Back to Nature
I got this for my 16 year old son. We recently moved from town to a very rural area, and he's been complaining there's nothing to do...so I got him this book and a tool kit. There's a lot of neat stuff to build, and useful survival information. I recommend this for older boys, and "Dangerous Book for Boys" for the younger set.
Amazons Service sucks
I wanted to let you know who bad Amazons service is I ordered this book on December 10th and was told it would be here on time. Well afer spending an hour on the phone with someone from the Philippines my problem was not solved and I am pissed and will never buy anything else from amazon. Thanks amazon for wreaking my christmans.
