    Camp Craft - All things camp related, for more comfortable living

    Here is a useful link, with many ideas to work with. Some of the illustrations have been lifted straight from the Collins/Wiseman survival guide, but some are original.
    Well worth a look.

    Yeah, I've posted the link to this in the books section. Richard Graves is one of the legends of bushcraft and definitely pre-dates lofty - Think more Robert Baden- Powell and the scouts. It was in this book that I first properly came across the camp loom - now my favourite bit of camp craftery!

    Graves died 1971, I think the original pamphlets were released in 1950. And were the basis for the book 'Bushcraft' first printed in the 50's and re-printed 1974.
