Review & Description

The old ways of trapping and snaring are forgotten by most today and the times to remember them are once again upon us in these times of economic and disaster uncertainty. This old style survival book of trapping and snaring lore, contains one of the greatest descriptive and applicable primitive and modern ways of acquiring game for food and sustenance. The book that was originally published in 1907 has been digitalized painstakingly, not a cheap scan like some offer that is blurry and hard to read. This volume contains information on building deadfalls, snaring with the bits of string you can find or using commercial grade wire snares, portable traps, bear and raccoon deadfalls to name a few. Specific animals are covered and their habits which include, Otter deadfall, Marten Deadfall, Stone Deadfall, The Bear Pen, Portable Traps, various trap and Snare Triggers, Trip Triggers, How to Set, When to Build, Where to Build, The Proper Bait, what to do about traps knocked down, Spring Pole Snare, Trail Set Snare, Bait Set Snares, The Box Trap, The Coop Trap, The Pit Trap, Number of Traps, When to Trap, Season's Catch, General Information, Skinning and Stretching, Handling and Grading, and From Animal to Market. This is a classic collection from Harding who was one of the first national advocates of scientific wildlife management, conservation and good sportsmanship in the 1900`s. This early work is a fascinating look at a vanished era and skills we can still use today The Prepper Archaeology project is a joint venture between Ron Foster and Cheryl Chamlies to establish a collection of historic preparedness research and information books under the banner of Elemental Publishing. We search the antique book stores and the archives for old tomes of forgotten knowledge contained in out of print or forgotten books and make arrangements to republish them as a resurrection into good quality modern books. Meticulous care and detail in reproduction is undertaken to preserve and honor the author’s original works and preserve the old time secrets and methods used by great pioneers and woodsmen. The republishing process utilizes good quality low acid crème colored paper and modernized high gloss book covers for durability. The books included in the collection are hand selected by experts in their field for the Prepper community’s enjoyment, so that this historical lore will not be lost and may be reused again to face the disasters of an uneasy world once more. This book that we have undertaken to represent was originally published in 1907. It contains methods of trapping and snaring that may be illegal in your state. Please you caution and common sense if you wish to try any of the historic methods contained here in. The book is for informational and research uses only. Arthur Robert Harding (July 1871 – 1930), better known as A. R. Harding, was an American outdoorsman and founder of Hunter-Trader-Trapper and Fur-Fish-Game Magazine, and publisher, editor and author of many popular outdoor how-to books of the early 1900s. Harding began hunting and trapping at the age of nine. At age 14, he was buying pelts from boys in his neighborhood, and reselling them at a profit. Making his rounds on horseback, he carried most of the pelts in a sack, but tied the fox skins to the saddle to show that his business was doing well. By the age of 20, Harding was employed by L. Frank & Sons, Ohio's Reliable Fur and Hide Dealers, of Zanesville, Ohio, as a fur buyer. Read more

The Down and Dirty Guide to Camping with Kids: How to Plan Memorable Family Adventures and Connect Kids to Nature

The Down and Dirty Guide to Camping with Kids: How to Plan Memorable Family Adventures and Connect Kids to Nature
by Helen Olsson
Release Date: March 20, 2012

Review & Description

For parents of young children looking for a supremely economical family vacation, camping is the way to go: no matter where you live, you can pack up the car and drive to a campground, often in less than an hour—with a week's worth of campsite fees totaling less than one night in a nice hotel. But while today's generation of parents may have backpacked through India and shot class IV rapids in Idaho (or seldom strayed from their office cubicle), when it comes to the thought of changing a diaper in a tent at midnight—much less amassing, organizing, and packing the requisite kid gear—anxiety and trepidation can easily set in.

This book, by a seasoned camper and a mother of three, is a humorous and often irreverent introductory guide to camping with kids, from babies to pre-teens. Eschewing the encyclopedic, author Helen Olsson writes from a parent's point of view, giving readers a clear plan—and plenty of encouragement—for an enjoyable family camping experience.

The book covers basics like choosing a destination, packing gear and food, setting up the campsite, planning menus, and keeping safe, all with an emphasis on the needs and concerns of parents with younger children. Each chapter features checklists, including "Little Tykes" lists dedicated to items for babies and toddlers. Other features include stand-alone tip boxes and sidebars on topics like renting gear, the best high-tech and natural clothing fabrics, "Top 5 Ways to Curb Whining," and the ever-important etiquette for pottying in the woods. A section on camping activities includes detailed arts and craft projects for kids, with materials lists and illustrated step-by-step instructions. The book focuses on car camping, with the last section covering alternate ways to camp: backpacking, canoe/kayak trips, hut camping, and trips with pack animals.

Like a trusted friend (albeit one who can haul a 30-pound toddler in a sled on a winter hut-camping trip), Olsson shares first-person anecdotes and lessons learned over years of camping with her family. With its authentic, can-do voice and contemporary design, The Down and Dirty Guide to Camping with Kids will appeal not only to first-time campers but to veteran campers befuddled by the challenges of carting their brood into the woods.

Review & Description

The old ways of trapping and snaring are forgotten by most today and the times to remember them are once again upon us in these times of economic and disaster uncertainty. This old style survival book of trapping and snaring lore, contains one of the greatest descriptive and applicable primitive and modern ways of acquiring game for food and sustenance. The book that was originally published in 1907 has been digitalized painstakingly, not a cheap scan like some offer that is blurry and hard to read. This volume contains information on building deadfalls, snaring with the bits of string you can find or using commercial grade wire snares, portable traps, bear and raccoon deadfalls to name a few. Specific animals are covered and their habits which include, Otter deadfall, Marten Deadfall, Stone Deadfall, The Bear Pen, Portable Traps, various trap and Snare Triggers, Trip Triggers, How to Set, When to Build, Where to Build, The Proper Bait, what to do about traps knocked down, Spring Pole Snare, Trail Set Snare, Bait Set Snares, The Box Trap, The Coop Trap, The Pit Trap, Number of Traps, When to Trap, Season's Catch, General Information, Skinning and Stretching, Handling and Grading, and From Animal to Market.
This is a classic collection from Harding who was one of the first national advocates of scientific wildlife management, conservation and good sportsmanship in the 1900`s. This early work is a fascinating look at a vanished era and skills we can still use today

Walking with Justice: Uncommon Lessons from One of Life's Greatest Mentors

Walking with Justice: Uncommon Lessons from One of Life's Greatest Mentors
by Mollie Marti
Publication Date: January 1, 2012

Buy new: $21.95

(Visit the Hot New Releases in Hiking & Camping list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)

Review & Description

In this thoughtful and uplifting portrait of a man devoted to serving others, Mollie Marti shares Judge Max Rosenn's spiritual and professional teachings, which led her along a path of self-discovery and infused her life with new meaning. Many law students and lawyers will be familiar with "giant of the law" Judge Max Rosenn, described by a colleague as "one of the greatest human beings I have ever known; a man of almost divine grace". Rosenn's opinions are more frequently cited than almost any other federal appellate court judge. The seventy law clerks who worked with him during his years on the court became extraordinarily devoted to him, establishing the annual "Max Rosenn Lecture Series in Law and Humanities" in his honour. Housed in the eulogies delivered by Judge's two sons and backed by stories based on the author's time spent with her mentor, twenty-five principles emerge that can be applied to conducting one's work with greater justice as well as living life intentionally. An emotionally rich recounting of Judge Rosenn's unique philosophy, this book illustrates how mentoring can truly be a two-way street and underscores that we write our own eulogy with the choices we make daily.

Review & Description

Jerry brings out some of the best hunting stories ever told in, Trophy White Tales.****Calvin Beeke, Michigan Whitetail Pursuit ****"Jerry Lambert delivers the campfire to his readers in the most quintessence form. A warm blend of family values and situations everyone who has hunted deer can relate to." ****Marc Anthony, Outdoor Writer, & hunter with 5 Boone & Crockett bucks. ****"Jerry really brings you into the woods on all his adventures and makes you feel like you are there with him.****Tim Hart, Q1 Buck Pole Television host.****"A wonderful fireside book for all ages." **** Dave Wilkins, Droptine Outdoor Adventures.***********************************************************************A lot of folks write about their experiences in the outdoors, but most are boring and little more than self-aggrandizement, frivolous fluff with tedious details of their "conquests" in the wild. Not Jerry. He tells these wonderful and varied "Tales" in a down to earth fashion, beautifully works in relationships with family and friends even to the point of reflections from his young (and successful) daughter on a hunt. Jerry educates us about this amazing highly sought-after animal, the White Tail Deer and does so in a way that you are sorry when the last story has been read. He has been a successful writer in many journals, magazines and newspapers for years. This book shows why. He has certainly gone though some amazing adventures in 30 years of his love affair with white-tail bucks. Give us some more Jerry! ********* From the Publisher Read more

Review & Description

A guide for families and outdoor adventurers alike, Maui Trailblazer 2011 covers all of the island, and includes day trips to the neighboring islands of Molokai, Lanai, and Molokini. The paperback and Kindle editions of the book have the same content.

Clear directions and concise descriptions lead to all of Maui's well-known attractions, as well as to hidden discoveries that Trailblazer readers have come to expect.

137 different hikes and strolls to tropical rain forests and remote valleys, coastal bluffs and lava caves, Haleakala crater and the Hana Highway, cascading waterfalls, beaches, ridgetops, towns, whale-watching perches, historic sites, and archeological ruins.

Among the 44 snorkeling spots are hike-to coves and the secret places that tour boats go.

Kayakers can pick from about 20 put-ins.

Surfers can select from 38 beaches and decide whether to boogie, board, or body surf. Onlookers will find the best places to watch the surfers, windsurfers and kite-boarders ride the big ones.

The text is complimented by 10 maps and 240 photographs. Driving tours-nine of them-take readers to all the attractions, natural wonders, and historic sites.

A Resource Links section provides numbers for free visitor information and recreational outfitters, as well as hand-picked accommodations and local restaurants to suit every budget and taste bud.

A Best Of section lets you pick the right activity to suit your mood and the day. Appendices include free hula shows, farmer's markets, what to pack, climate, history, fauna, and a Hawaiian glossary.

This new and completely revised third edition for 2011 includes a Trailblazer Kids section for adventuring families. You'll find a 4-page color photograph insert, and many other color photos—provided the device you use allows for color pictures.

From the Publisher
From the Maui Weekly, January 11, 2006, "Turns out my favorite Maui guidebook has five siblings. It's a family of great books. All the island Trailblazers (Maui, Kauai, Hawaii the Big Island and Oahu) are big on hikes, and really tell you everything you could possibly need to know to hike safely and enjoyably in each area described. They are equally complete in their snorkel site coverage and drives. In reading and using Trailblazer guides, you are encouraged to exercise your best judgement and show all the spirit of aloha you can muster."

From the Publisher
From the Maui Weekly, January 11, 2006, "Turns out my favorite Maui guidebook has five siblings. It's a family of great books. All the island Trailblazers (Maui, Kauai, Hawaii the Big Island and Oahu) are big on hikes, and really tell you everything you could possibly need to know to hike safely and enjoyably in each area described. They are equally complete in their snorkel site coverage and drives. In reading and using Trailblazer guides, you are encouraged to exercise your best judgement and show all the spirit of aloha you can muster."

Review & Description

I retired as general manager of a recreational vehicle (RV) rental and sales company to live in and travel with my wife in our Bounder motorhome for the next sixteen years. During that time I photographed and wrote articles for several RV magazines, taught how-to seminars for Life On Wheels RV Conferences and at RV rallies, and served as a volunteer interpretive programs presenter for Arizona State Parks. This ebook is a how-to guide for RVers that want to extend their RVing time by saving money and cutting expenses while on the road. There are many economically viable choices that we RVers can make that will affect our expenses, which by reducing can extend the length of time we can continue our RV travels without the need to create more income or go back to a regular full-time job. When I started RVing full time, I expected it would last for two or three years before having to return to work. But I found that I could make my funds go further--much further--in the areas that are the most expensive for RVers--campground fees, fuel, and feeding the body. You can do it too. It is not as expensive as you might imagine, providing you don't have champagne tastes on a home brew budget. And I never did have to go back to a full time job. Consider this, utilizing just one suggestion from this ebook would pay for it many times over.

Review & Description

Health is something everyone wants. Billions of dollars are spent each year trying to retain or restore health. It is a basic desire of all mankind. Anyone who likes sickness must be mentally sick! Yet, religion has told us that God is the one who wants us sick. It even tries to make us believe that sickness is a blessing. That's just not true. God wants you well.

Healing is in Christ's Atonement. Jesus died for our health just as much as He died for the forgiveness of our sins. This has to be the foundation of our faith for healing. Many Scriptures relate the healing of our bodies and the forgiveness of our sins in the same verse. Jesus went about healing all who were oppressed of the devil and told us to do the same. Jesus hasn't changed, it's the people who represent Him who have changed.

What about Paul's thorn in the flesh? It is commonly believed that the apostle Paul had a sickness for which he besought the Lord for healing three times, and the Lord wouldn't heal him. From that assumption, people teach that God sometimes wants us sick. In this book, Andrew reveals what Paul's thorn in the flesh was, and it wasn't sickness.

If it is God's will to heal everyone, then why isn't everyone healed? It's not because of God. And it's not just because we don't have enough faith. We do have the faith to be healed. Jesus said the problem is our unbelief - unbelief cancels out faith. Instead of trying to get more faith or bigger faith, we just need a pure faith that isn't negated by unbelief.

There are laws that govern the spiritual world just as there are laws that govern the physical realm. Electricity has been around since the beginning of the world, but mankind didn't benefit from electricity until recently, not because it didn't work, but because of our ignorance of the laws of electricity. Likewise, God's healing is here and available. It's only our ignorance of the laws which control the flow of God's power that keeps us from benefiting from it. Read more
