A great read for a winter evening, it's really engaging and you can read it very quickly. Lots of practical knowledge. The rest of the books from the Old Wonderful World publishing house will also join my library. I recommend it!
Elmer Harry Kreps (1880 - 1957) was a skilled American hunter and trapper who operated throughout the untamed regions of North America. He also earned distinction as an illustrator and wrote numerous books and articles for industry publications.
"Trapper's Guide stands as a comprehensive manual authored by a man who dedicated his life to the wilderness. Inside, readers will find practical tips directly from an experienced trapper who relies on natural resources and possesses a wealth of skill, expertise, and determination. Rather than embellishing the allure or rewards of remote life far from urban surroundings, Kreps offers solid, firsthand guidance—ranging from fire starting techniques and constructing a trapper’s cabin to maintaining essential tools like an axe. Numerous illustrations complement the text throughout the guide.
Ultimately, Trapper's Guide serves not only as a collection of practical strategies but also as a tribute to the existence of one of the last genuine woodsmen.

A good book for one autumn evening to get acquainted with the thoughts of a "survivalist" from the previous era. Rather as a curiosity and break from everyday life than a guide for modern times. Pleasant and quick to read.

One of the best in the series, in my opinion. All substance, without unnecessary introductions and sentiment.

I recommend it. Great book.

Maybe a bit lacking in color and just a bit too dry, but the author's deep thoughts were still good to read—maybe because it isn't too thick. Still, I recommend reading it at least once.
-
A guide written by a real trapper and hunter. Maybe it lacks a bit of sophistication and colorful, beautiful stories, but it contains reliable knowledge, which is surprisingly current.
