About the Book
Here’s an exciting book packed with facts about nature, ideas for outdoor activities, and fun-to-do crafts projects that will keep boys interested and busy all year around. It’s filled with color illustrations and diagrams that teach kids:

- How to read a topographic map
- How to construct a camper’s backpack
- How to tie sailors’ knots
- How to build a periscope . . . and much more
Camping advice and instruction includes ways to protect against the weather, first-aid for injuries, advice on using a compass, tips for studying the night sky, identifying birds, and much more. The book’s wide array of topics and sturdy construction makes it an ideal outdoor companion for hiking and camping excursions. An elastic band bound into the back cover can be stretched over pages and used as a place marker. Color illustrations on every page.

My Take on the Book
While I do not have boys myself, I wish that there was a book like this when I was growing up. There were so many ideas in this book that would make any boy excited... from making a bow and arrow to learning about poisonous snakes and musical instruments. This is a great book for any boy and will give his a ton of great ideas to try for themselves. I highly encourage all to share this with the boys in your life!
