Being that many people have been showing an interest in Richard Graves again, I thought I'd post this link to an online version of the original Scouting for boys texts.
http://www.thedump.scoutscan.com/yarns00-28.pdf
Now despite this being written for scouts, the information is priceless and much of what Robert Baden-Powell wrote was the basis for later books like Richard Graves 10 books of Bushcraft.
From Navigation to Tracking to Campcraft, this book is the original bushcraft manual in my opinion. Originally written in 1907 and published 1908 the contents of this book have been the inspiration for many a young adventurer for over 100 years.
I'm fortunate enough to have found a hardback copy of the 1957 thirtieth edition that takes pride of place on my bushcraft bookshelf.
Enjoy :p
