Chapter VI CAMP COOKERY—HOW IT IS USUALLY DONE, WITH A FEW SIMPLE HINTS ON PLAIN COOKING—COOKING FIRE AND OUT-DOOR RANGE
This is an odd chapter. Nessmuk is in a narrative mode here, telling the story of a party of four youngsters and the "O. W." (Old Woodsman). Much, but not all, of the content is restated from earlier in the book. It's not bad, but I think he's better in his standard expository style. This also might've made more sense later in the book, when he could review all of it instead of just the first half. Maybe there will be another one back there as well.
Pull quote: If there is a spot on earth where trifles make up the sum of human enjoyment, it is to be found in a woodland camp.
Camping is all about the little things. Enjoying the little stuff you don't get in the city, and avoiding the little mistakes that can ruin it.
