This timeless classic from 1927 captures the art and spirit of hiking through the eyes of a Scout leader. D. Francis Morgan, Assistant Commissioner for Training for Hertfordshire, delivers practical wisdom for both novice wanderers and experienced trailblazers in this beloved handbook.
Morgan expertly guides readers through every aspect of hiking preparation—from selecting proper equipment and crafting lightweight packs to pitching tents and cooking over open fires. His instructions on making camp, navigating routes, and preparing simple yet satisfying meals in the wilderness have stood the test of time.
Beyond technical knowledge, "Hiking" celebrates the profound connection between hiker and landscape. Morgan's lyrical passages remind us that hiking offers more than physical challenge—it provides spiritual renewal and a return to simpler ways of living. His reflections on evening campfires, morning dew, and the sounds of nature evoke the transformative power of the trail.
This republished edition preserves Morgan's original voice, allowing modern readers to experience the romance of hiking as it was understood nearly a century ago. Whether you're a Scout seeking practical skills or a nature enthusiast drawn to the poetry of the outdoors, this guide invites you to discover what Morgan calls "the wonderful store of memories" that only hiking can provide.
