Camp Tools

In the early days of American life the ax and the knife were the two indispensable tools. … With the knife they made spoons, brooms, rakes and bowls; trimmed the skins of the animals they caught, and made the smaller things needed in the cabin and around it. (Philip D. Fagans, Boy’s Book of Woodcraft, 1933)

. . . the writer has emphasized the danger of edged tools for beginners, but he did that to make them careful in the use of the axe, not to discourage them in acquiring skill with it. We must remember that there is nothing in life that is not dangerous. … (Dan Beard, The Book of Camp-Lore and Woodcraft, 1920)
