Just finished Chapter 1 and I'm loving it! I find a lot of what he's saying kind of humorous - like he's a little hipstery and it's great. He's like - we're chilling in the woods but not like those fancy people who buy fancy things and stuff, but we're not gonna suffer TOO much, I bring my porcelain tea cup after all!
Here's something that I really think rings true for all of us into the bushcrafty ways - "All thoroughbred campers do this [sort out and fuss over their gear] as regularly as birds come back in spring, and their kind have been doing it since the world began. It is good for us. If some misguided genius should invent a camping equipment that nobody could find fault with, half our pleasure in life would be swept away."
THANK YOU Kephart for validating my obsession with organizing my outdoor gear. Seriously thinking about putting this on the wall by my knife collection haha!!
This would be such a rad book to all read before a gathering and then have a book club type discussion about.
