This was my go-to book on camping gear. Sure, I had been Boy Scout since 1967, so camping was in my blood. But that was initially the car camping style where we would drive to a camp, haul tents and gear from the trunk and set up camp nearby.
Later I began to backpack, so we needed to carry everything on the back of our back. So the camp might have looked like this:
Michaux State Forest and the Appalachian Trail. (early 70s?)
Here is my gear list from that period.
See the Vis-clamps on the tarp in the picture above?
