A great camping book from about 1911, positively evangelical in its emphasis on the joys of life under canvas. The author is not to be confused with the US writer Henry William Gibson whose
Camping for Boys came out in the same year. That Gibson is said to be responsible for the American Summer Camp movement which did not take off in Britain. J.Gibson's cookery books for scouts are highly prized..

Our Slogan :
“CAMP OUT THIS YEAR!”
The object of this booklet is to increase the ranks of the great army of Campers. Many have joined the ranks during the last two or three years and made camping out a permanent institution. Many more would join the ranks if they realised the real joy there is in camping out. No one need hesitate to join that vast and yearly increasing army of campers out, to share their pleasures and comforts.
Take up the Slogan and camp out this year and this booklet will have done its duty well.
"Once a Camper, always a Camper !"
