Clyde Ormond spent a lifetime in the field — Alaska, Africa, Mexico — and this book is the distillation of that. It covers woodcraft, survival, hunting, fishing, and camp skills in the kind of practical depth you don't find in modern guides. Ernest Barth's drawings throughout are clear and functional.
A previous owner signed their name in pen — which puts this copy squarely in the hands of someone who actually used it. If you want a working copy with some history, this is it. If you want pristine, it's not.
Clyde Ormond (1906–1985) was one of the most prolific outdoor writers of the 20th century. He tested firearms for manufacturers, contributed regularly to hunting and fishing publications, and wrote from genuine field experience — not a desk. A 1964 Outdoor Life imprint with an original owner's signature is a solid working copy of a book that's still cited by outdoors writers today.
