<span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><i><b>THE DEN</b></i></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: orange;">The dictionary defines a den as “the lair of a wild beast, a
lurking place, a hovel,” before it goes on the mention “a study, a sanctum, a
smuggery.” The Rover Den, however, suggests other words such as Possession,
Recreation, Comradeship, Improvement……Its furnishing and decorations should be
in keeping with the general character of the building, and should not be too
elaborate or finicky. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is wanted is
the atmosphere of the workbench, not that of the boudoir. Utility, comfort and
manliness should combine in its general appearance, together with touches of a
Scouty nature. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: orange;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">There is a tendency for those who have good dens to stay in them
and forget that they are really only base camps from which they set out to
explore the open country round about, from which they can launch attacks on
mountains.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 3;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></i><b style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><i><span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The Rover Scout</span></i></b></span></div>

is great: fun, in the long winter evenings, to sort over your beloved duffel,
to make and fit up the little boxes and hold-alls in which everything has its
proper place, to contrive new wrinkles that no body but yourself has the
gigantic brain to conceive to concoct mysterious dopes that fill the house with
unsanctimonious smells, to fish around for materials, in odd corners where you
have no business, and, generally, to set the female members of the household
buzzing around in curiosity, disapproval, and sundry other states of mind.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoBodyTextIndent3" style="text-indent: .25in;">

rigs up his own outfit, he never gets it quite to suit him. Every season sees the
downfall of some cherished scheme, the failure of some fond contrivance. Every
winter sees you again fussing over your kit, altering this, substituting that,
and flogging your wits with the same old problem of how to save weight and bulk
without sacrifice of utility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All
thoroughbred campers do this as regularly as the birds come back in spring, and
their kind has been doing it since the world began. It is good for us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

camping equipment that nobody could find fault with, half our pleasure in life
would be swept away.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

They're most likely WW II surplus, but look just like the old ones you would have seen in any Abercrombie and Fitch catalog from the day. The way they work is based on the swelling thread of the fabric weave sealing the bag and holding water. </span><br />

Water is always cooler when stored this way than in some plastic tank.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: yellow;">The Desert Water Bag can still be found in old out buildings and antique shops for a pretty decent price. Many no longer hold water, but they look cool. If you want a new one, Canvas Specialty still sells them, but at a price. They require a minimum order of 2 and cost $52 each- if you buy 50, the price goes down to $45. That's a bit different from the the ones listed in A&F at $2 each in 1924.</span></div>

Especially designed for extreme weather conditions, Canvas Specialty Water Bags are the perfect solution for very hot environments (Desert Camping).</i></span></div>

Filson's commitment to classic style has always been at the forefront of their design ideals. They have pulled off a great ad campaign, bringing classic style into our modern camping market, with the release of their latest catalogs. Good job Filson.</div>

Woolrich has maintained classic styles in its clothing line, keeping the Hunting Coat and Stag Shirt - both in their line since the early 1800s - without any noticeable modern intrusions. Cheers to Woolrich for providing us with true field-tested outdoor gear.<br />

From the Pendleton History -<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="color: #171717; font-family: FrutigerLT-Roman, Dosis, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">In 1863, traveling down the Atlantic seaboard, crossing the Isthmus of Panama on a burro, and sailing up the Pacific coast was a grueling four-month passage. Yet for Thomas Kay, a young English weaver, it was a dream come true. An old hand at sea voyages, he had already crossed the Atlantic years earlier to work at east coast textile mills. With skills honed, he was now headed to an area with ideal conditions for raising sheep and producing wool. A place with moderate weather and plentiful water - America's newest state, Oregon.</span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: FrutigerLT-Roman, Dosis, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #171717; font-family: FrutigerLT-Roman, Dosis, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"> Kay helped organize Oregon's second woolen mill in Brownsville, where he oversaw the weaving operation. Soon he was made a superintendent of the company. In 1889, Thomas Kay opened his own mill in Salem, Oregon. From these humble beginnings rose a dyed-in-the-wool American success story. </span><br />

Montana is a "Khaki State of Mind." With classic styling and recognition of their traditional outdoor history and heritage, Montana companies maintain a look that is truly a part of the classic camping movement.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">We're sorry for the late </span></b><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>decision, but we have really tried to keep this one going. If you have been aware of our situation this year (main offices burning and such), you'll know we have not made this decision without some heartache. Backtracks has maintained a long tradition of not </b></span><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>canceling for any reason. At this point, however, we would rather break with tradition just a bit in order take the time to plan an event all of us would be proud of. Anyone who pre-regsistered on-line has a couple of options for their tuition. 1. Hold it over for next year's event and be first in line to choose classes; 2. Apply it to one of the other Backtracks events - Rabbitstick (Sept - ID) or Winter Count (Feb - AZ); or 3. Get a refund. Let us know which you prefer.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>Those of you who have attended one of our events (we've been doing this for 25 years) know how great these experiences are - in fact we have numerous reports of last year's Woodsmoke being a "life-changing experience" for many. We want you to know we regret any inconvenience this may cause some of you, and we apologize for that. We plan to make up for it if we can. We are not aware of anyone who was planning to make it who cannot re-arrange travel plans at this point.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>Our plans for the next Woodsmoke are to make the Backtracks offices and Classic Camping hut a central focus for the event. There you will find our collections of classic camping literature, project and gear displays and many of the tools and facilities we use for our classic craft projects. Plan to be a part of this great on-going event.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232;">I was hunting and gathering in the local Walmart yesterday. As I was stalking along, this caught my eye - a marquee sign hanging from the ceiling.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Upon closer inspection, I noticed this graphic from an old classic camping book and the Walmart logo with 1878 as the start date. The masses may be catching up to what we already know to be the true way to camp. </span><br />

<br />
This past weekend found both chapters busy at work doing what we love. In the west, the <i>Yellowstone Trail Chapter Hut in Teton, Idaho </i>hosted a Scandinavian-style knife and sheath-making workshop lead by David Wescott. On Thursday, the handles were glued up and left to cure (the blades were laminated Moras provided by our longtime supplier RoseMarie at <a href="http://www.frosts-scandia.com/index.html">Scandia International</a>). On Saturday the weather was warm, but so warm the snow was melting faster than the frozen ground could absorb it, so we worked inside to avoid mud and puddles. The workshop was open for handle trimming, shaping and buffing. The classroom was alive with leather work - pattern-making, gluing, stitching and waxing. The result was a dozen great little <i>sloyd </i>knives that would be used in our upcoming Tuesday Knifecraft class where we focused on dogwood beads, split-forked toasters, gypsy flowers and try sticks.We ended up with some interesting shapes, but all the handles were technically sound and pretty darn good for a first attempt by most everyone.<br />

<i>Kamphaven at the Schiele Museum in North Carolina</i> hosted the latest in the Kamp Kephart series led by Steve Watts. The design came from one belonging to long-time mentor Darry Wood that both Steve and I saw years ago. It's a slick little design and has tremendous application in a field setting while using and carrying your axe for practical purposes. Gastonia was experiencing some unfriendly weather, so the class was held in the center's classroom and out on the front porch. What a great setting for getting back to the old style.<br />

The original axe and sheath, and my knock-off pattern drawn on a cereal box are seen below (Note cereal box cardboard works great for creating form-fitting leather patterns. It molds to the tool like leather would, creating a very accurate pattern). I forgot to add the piece for the welt along the bit, but if you look closely, you can see the line where it needs to be placed. Cut it to that shape. The pattern was reduced, but can be rescaled to fit a 3/4 axe head. I made one from this pattern that replicates the one in the picture. The lacing is brain-tanned buckskin. Bottom-left is Steve's small Forest Axe using a customized factory sheath; and bottom-right is my 3/4 axe and sheath replica of the original. All hail the plaid.<br />

<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e69138;">One of the first posts on this blog included a couple of short clips featuring the "Vagabonds," Edison, Ford, Burroughs and Firestone. The well documented decade of camping adventures completed by the team were responsible perhaps for the great exodus to the outdoors undertaken by almost all of America just after the turn of the century. There were more people camping for pleasure per capita in the US than any other time before or since. Join us on the road with this great little documentary. </span><br />

Watts and Wescott then began to offer a series of classic camping skills courses, both in the east (The Acorn Patrol) and west (The Yellowstone Trail Chapter Hut). The “Kamp Kephart” workshop series began in 2005 at the Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia, North Carolina. Participants trained in those workshops have formed the core of a classic camping demonstration team - a group responsible for pioneering experiential history re-encampment events on the east coast. </span></div>

<span style="color: #ffd966;">For anyone interested in getting started, a sound philosophical reason for why we do it is essential. The art of the re-encampment can be undertaken for lots of reasons, but the whole basis of it is to hearken back to when camping was <b><i>the reason</i></b> for going camping. It wasn't just a stopping point for a tramping trip or the place where one spent time while waiting for the daylight to get better for the hunt. Camping was an end it itself. Sitting by the campfire's glow with a bunch of well-fed friends who know the finer arts of the sylvan life can never be beat. <b><i>So come join us as we celebrate camping in the old style. </i></b></span>David Wescotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17052279644362186330noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5180755168361738878.post-33616255927011746602012-12-05T12:11:00.000-08:002012-12-05T12:27:01.700-08:00Register For Woodsmoke Now!<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #fff2cc;">One great thing about the Internet is that it is an
unbelievable source for getting to know historic figures. A good number of the
authors with books on classic camping have been written about for their literary contributions (White, Hough, Wallace, Seton, Kephart). Unfortunately,
Warren Miller is not among them. It’s time to correct this so his influence on
the outdoor genre and the field of classic American camping in general is not
overlooked (we need to do this for people like Mason, Jaeger, and Buzzacott as
well) .</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a first attempt at a biographical sketch of Warren
Hastings Miller (1876-1960) editor of <i>Field
and Stream</i> and prolific author of outdoor skills books for boys. It’s
interesting to note that Millers books, <i>Camping
Out</i> (1912) and <i>Camp Craft</i> (1915)
were two of the seminal works that stimulated my interest in assembling <i>Camping In The Old Style </i>in 2000. There
were a few photos in his books that used some people as regular subjects. One I
assumed was Warren himself. I was mistaken, but I didn’t know it until a few
months after the book’s release. While eating dinner one evening, a phone call
came. It was a gentleman from Florida. The conversation went like this:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wescott: Hello?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Miller: You have no idea what my father looks like do you?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wescott: Excuse me?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Miller: I said, “You have no idea what my father looks like
do you”?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wescott: I’m not sure. Who is this?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Miller: This is Warren Miller Jr. and you have incorrectly
identified my father in a number of photos in your book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, he good-naturedly directed me to a photo that was
indeed his father, and set me straight. I had barely done enough research to
complete my book, and had nowhere near mastered the subject. I asked Warren for
his phone number and if I could call him back when I got around to improving my
knowledge about his father. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

said wryly, “I was wondering when you were going to call back.” The following

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Warren Hastings Miller Sr.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Born: 1875 in Honesdale, PA<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Died: 1960 Melbourne, FL<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Buried: Gloucester, MA</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Looking at photos of him in the field, often accompanied by
David Abercrombie, I assumed he was a tall thin man. Warren Jr. corrected me
again by telling me that he was thin (his weight averaged about 120 pounds, but
was regularly around 106 pounds), but he was not tall. He was only 5’6” tall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Miller was a very patriotic citizen and always ready to
volunteer in times of crisis. He is listed in the New Jersey census as an able seaman in the N.J. Naval Reserve attached to the USS Portsmouth from 1896-1898. He served in active duty on the USS Glacier during the
Spanish-American War (1898).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Upon his return from the war, he was married and his first child
was born to him and his wife Susan Barse in 1901. He was named Barse Miller and
became a well-known artist and muralist in California. He lived in the Monterey
area (* I wonder if he was buddies with another of my heroes, Joe Mora?). Warren
and Susan had 3 more children between 1901 and 1911 and moved to Gloucester, MA
as she was an active artist and Gloucester was an artist’s colony at the time.
He spent most of his life in the Hudson River area, living on one side of the
river or the other at times. Susan tragically died of an upper respiratory
infection at the age of 50. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Miller was trained as a mechanical engineer and worked for
the Eastern Standard Oil Company (now Exxon) and was responsible for three new patents.
Starting in 1909 he took on work at nights to help out at the offices of <i>Field and Stream</i>. He was an avid
tinkerer and was interested in improving gear for hunter, fisherman and outer
alike.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During WWI (1917-18) Miller served as an Assistant Gunnery

Armistice was signed. He retired as a Navy Lieutenant and later acquired the

<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1910 Miller became the managing editor of <i>Field and Stream</i> magazine and served in
the position until 1918. While he was the editor, he oversaw the serialization
of works by well-known authors such as Zane Grey. He also saw to it that the
magazine was the official publication of the Campfire Club of America, working
with the likes of Seton, Pinchot and Roosevelt. (From <i>The Best of Field and Stream: 100 Years of Great Writing</i>)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From the time of his first publications (starting in 1911 with <i>Canoeing, Sailing and Motor Boating</i>), Miller wrote in a
conversational style that was familiar to his way of storytelling. He titled
them “Boys Books,” the big “B” possibly honoring his eldest son Barse. As he
noted in one of his introductions, if you were reading his book, you were
either 12 years old or the father of a 12 year old. I read once that much of
the outdoor how-to genre was disguised as if it was for boys, but really written
for men. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Miller shared a common love of the outdoors with David
Abercrombie and Frank Stick, an illustrator for <i>Field and Stream</i>. The three of them camped regularly during
Miller’s tenure at the magazine, making 6-week expeditions throughout the country.
They traveled west by train to Montana’s Continental Divide country. There they
hired a local named Montana John (the source for Miller’s protagonist Big
John). He was such a unique character, full of Montana-isms, that Miller followed
him around with notebook and pencil, jotting down everything that came out of
his mouth. This was an epoch winter expedition that resulted in many good
stories and photos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Warren Jr. told me a favorite story about a mouse in the woodpile. Miller was
proud of his lightweight gear, but in Montana they slept in what he called “a
classic rag house” – that’s a traditional outfitter’s wall tent with tent
stove. There was a woodpile in the tent to fuel the stove. One night Miller
kept hearing a mouse running around and proceeded to shoot it with his pistol.
The shot woke everyone up, and since the mouse came back, clearly he had missed his target, so everyone else wanted
to give it a try. The result was 10-12 dead mice and probably a well-ventilated
tent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They also traveled by train to Flagstaff, Arizona where they
hired a packing guide and rode north crossing the Colorado River at Lee’s
Ferry, and onto the Kaibab Plateau where they spent over a month hunting and
fishing.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shortly after leaving <i>Field
and Stream</i>, he was approached by a well-known publisher who liked his
writing style. He agreed to a contract with Harper & Brothers to produce 5
novels for youth. When he asked what they wanted the books to be about, their
response was “anything but <i>Penrod</i>” (a
series of kids books by Booth Tarkington about the adventures of a Tom
Sawyer-like character growing up in the pre-WWI Midwest). He decided on a
series of adventure and travel novels featuring “boy explorers.” To acquire
information for the books, he set sail in 1921 on a 15,000 mile voyage to New
Guinea, Java, Borneo, and Sumatra. There he chartered a “Proa”, a lateen-rigged
junk with a crew of six natives that cost him about $15 a month, and was able
to sail to obscure locations gathering stories not commonly written about (<i>New
York Times </i>Nov. 27, 1921).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s not commonly known that Miller also lived in North
Africa among the Berber people of Tunisia where he gathered information for his
1927 book <i>Sahara Sands, which is another of the "Boy Explorers" books</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">About 1937, while living in White Plains, NY, Miller
remarried. His new wife, Elizabeth White was the chorister at the church where he was the
organist, and they subsequently had 2 more children – his second family – one
of which is Warren Jr. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Warren Jr. remembers his father as a gifted storyteller –
that was why he was such a good writer, he wrote as he spoke. His favorite
story subjects were – Naval history, his boyhood in Perth Amboy, NJ where he
learned to hunt, fish and sail, as well as stories that came from his novels.
Warren Jr. said he rarely spoke of his first family as they were all grown by
the time he was born. Presumably relations were amicable but not close. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>SO the big question – What happened to all his gear?</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1945 Miller was struck with Prostate Cancer. He was
successfully treated, but told that spending winters in MA would kill him. He
moved his family to Melbourne, Florida for the winters and back to the
Gloucester home for the summers. In 1954, age and finances required that he
sell the MA home. Warren Jr. and 2 of his brothers were dispatched to the home
with a list of exactly what to bring back. At the time, all of the gear was
just a bunch of “obsolete camp stuff” –
too old to be any good, but not old enough to be of any value. It was all thrown
out with the exception of a few of Miller’s favorite guns. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By this time, Warren Jr. says, “Dad was over it. The old
days had past. We did a little camping, but not like he used to. Dad was always
active, and it wasn’t until he was about 80 that he started to look his age.”
About 1953 Miller and Jr. (age 14) did build a sail boat together in Florida.
Warren Jr. mentioned that this was a powerful lesson on how people can make
things from scratch, learning that you could actually produce something of value.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While living in MA Jr. managed to convince his parents to
buy a 16’ Snipe class sail boat. This was part of the load brought back to
Florida when the house was sold. He mentioned that he was taught to sail mostly
by his mother, from what she had been taught by his father. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In closing I mentioned our classic camping symposium held
last year here in Idaho. I also told him that there was a general renaissance
in the field of traditional skills and classic style, and that Miller is being
re-read by a whole new generation. His words are still teaching “boys” 100
years after they were written, and they’re still valid. He mentioned a client
of his engineering firm brought a recent copy of <i>Field and Stream</i> into the office
to show him that an article on rifles had quoted his father’s book <i>Rifles and Shotguns</i> (1917). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We talked about the idea of heritage and tradition,
whereupon Warren said his father knew the old skills but was proud of his
development of new equipment and enjoyed the latest gear – his paraffinned/muslin
tent and his nesting aluminum cook set. This is a discussion that Steve Watts
and I have been having for a while – the blending of old skills and new
technology. This has been a common dichotomy throughout many generations of
campers. The contemporary Classic-style has simply chosen a specific time
period and deals with the skills and gear common to the Golden Age of Camping.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Warren asked me if I had heard of the book <i>The Lone Woodsman</i> (1943) or sometimes
titled <i>Two Hands and A Knife</i> (the
title was changed by the copyright holder after one of the 11 editions. There
is a current book by the same title by another author) (“Dad always sold the
rights outright ... he never made any money on his books.”). It was his most
popular book by far. It was about a boy (like Dad) who was interested in Indian Lore
and haunted the halls of the New York Museum of Natural History to learn
everything he could about how to live as they did. (“Dad always favored the
Indians in his writing. He thought they got a raw deal, and that they deserved
better than they got. They deserved credit for what they knew.”) The boy took a
train north to live with the Canadian Cree for a summer. The train put him off
at Lac Suel with his gear, canoe and his dog. While crossing the lake, the
canoe swamped in a storm. The boy managed to save himself with only his shorts,
a leather belt, his dog and collar and a knife. The idea was to teach youth how
to think when simple questions like “What am I going to eat” need to be
answered. It’s a different way of thinking. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The book has drawings by his brother Barse as well as Kurt
Weise a comic artist who had a strip similar to <i>Mark Trail</i>. Warren Sr. said that he once got a letter from a man
who was coming to visit who had used the book to live like the main character
Dan Pickett. Upon seeing the man, Warren said “He looked pretty pale to me.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>* Note:</b> These are two posts from Warren Jr. and myself that added another interesting touch to the story - at least for me.</span></div>

<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: #fff2cc;"><i>I took the liberty of making a few corrections to your write-up (in red), but on the whole, it is very good. But you surprised me with your comment about Joe Mora. Let me tell you about Joe (truly Jose). When Dad was growing up, he ran around (and sailed and camped and hunted) with a group of boys. One of them was Eber Hubbard, whose father was a battlefield surgeon in the Civil War. It's too bad that Dr. Hubbard was a true hero, who didn't tell war stories, or I would have heard stories about the Civil War straight from the source! Another was Ray Roberts (known as "Rabbits" from his name and big feet, and when they were perhaps 12 years old, a new boy joined the group, Joe (Jose) Mora, whose father (from Mexico) came to Perth Amboy to run the local ceramics business. He and Dad were great friends, and whenever Joe published a new book (<u>Trail Dust and Saddle Leather, Californios</u>), he sent Dad a copy. He was a superb artist. I have no idea how he got from Perth Amboy to New Mexico, but I assume that his family lived there. -</i> Warren</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: #fff2cc;"><i>It's a small world. I have always been a huge Mora fan ever since I was a kid. I used to have his illustrated park maps and cowboy and indian posters hung up in my room. I have copies of the 2 cowboy/indian posters hanging in my office right now. I taught at NAU in Flagstaff for 3 years and had a chance to go through his complete collections in the library there. His Dad was a Catalonian sculptor (Spanish - wife was French) and brought the boys to New Jersey from Montivedeo, Uruguay where they were born. Mora made several trips west at the turn of the century, traveling through Texas and Mexico to learn the skills of the Vaquero, but headed west for good about 1903, to record the California and Native American traditional ways. From 1904-1906 he lived at Oraibi, AZ documenting pueblo life and amassing an amazing catalog of Kachina paintings. He spent time near where I grew up, and eventually settled in the Monterey area. He was highly influenced by the California mission style. My folks were bay area brats and were way into Arts and Crafts and Mission style, so Mora was always in our house. Pretty cool. Thanks again, </i>David</span></span></div>

He has made the effort to connect with the international market and regularly works with groups and individuals who make their way to his operation in Maine. Tim has been a student of the craft for a long time. He has mastered many of the skills and continues to give credit to his mentors and makes room for them to teach with him. Tim will be with us at Woodsmoke this year, so if you have been a fan of what you've seen on his website and YouTube, then make sure you mark July 8-14 on your calendar, and plan to be at Woodsmoke as well.</span></div>David Wescotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17052279644362186330noreply@blogger.com0
