Shelters Shacks and Shanties Annotated eBook Daniel Carter Beard
If only this book would of fell into my hands 30 years ago! I was lucky enough to be raised on 38 acres of land that was partially used for farming. A large portion of this land was just "woods" and it was here where my some of my best childhood memories were formed. The place was literally my playground and I can remember going back in those woods to build forts and pretending to be Daniel Boone. I was never in the Boy Scouts but participated in a very similar program for boys known as the "Royal Rangers" for many years. I've always loved camping and being outdoors and I have continued this interest to the present day. Unfortunately, gone are the days of the fields, farms, and "the woods" for me. Today, my job has taken me away from my childhood home and into the city where I live on a piece of property about the size of a postage stamp. I have a five year old son and I have been determined to give him the opportunity to experience the outdoors by taking him camping. Whenever possible, I still travel back to my childhood home, and it is here that I think this book by D.C. Beard will become a valuable resource of ideas for my son and I.The book was written nearly a 100 years ago by a man who is considered to be one of the founders of The Boy Scouts. The book is very conversational, easy to read, and you feel like the author is speaking to the imaginative child within us all. There aren't a lot of technical details about how to build these "shelters, shacks, and shanties", just enough information, advice, and great illustrations to get you pointed in the right direction. As I am reading this book, I can't help but to think of the ideas and possibilities of how I could start building these things and it really makes me want to rush out and start building my next fort/campsite. It's like my inner child looking at a toy catalog! The book has a lot of good advice too. I can remember being a kid and building my lean-to shelters with my branches just thrown on the top and sides in any way they would lay. Beard gives advice on laying the branches in a way so that water runs off of them easily (ends pointing down). The book is full of facts and practical advice that is really helpful. I had a lot of fun reading through it, making notes all along the way of things that I want to try out when we next venture back home. As my son grows older, I hope to incorporate more of these lessons, ideas, and the enjoyment of the outdoors suggested by D.C. Beard. Just reading the book certainly gets me excited about our annual camping trip to the mountains of North Carolina as well. I look forward to reading some of the other books by this author and I highly recommend this one!

Shelters Shacks and Shanties Annotated eBook Daniel Carter Beard Reviews
A great book taken from what I believe are old Boy Scout Manuels. Lots of illustrations and easy to understand. A great book for young scouts or anyone else who wants to make some natural material shelters.
I gave this to my dad as a Father's Day gift because he's said for many years that after he retires he wants to build a mud hut down by the river....well dad perhaps you need this book to help you with your plan.
This teaches the basic progression of shelter. Which most people don't understand. Your first night in the woods could be sheltered by loe hanging branches under a fir tree. Your second night may give you an idea to build something bigger that may be able to have a fire near enough to warm you and your new home. As things progress we all want some creature comforts and more control over the effects of nature, so we build a more permanent shelter that allows fire to enter the home.
A great read for young and old from an appropriate source, one of the founders of the Boy Scouts of America. It comes with instructions on building various shelters each with helpful and fun illustrations. I would say this book is for anyone, specifically younger fans of the outdoors. If you're a camper looking for a helpful guide to stick in your backpack i'd definitely recommend this.
Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties The Classic Guide to Building Wilderness Shelters (Dover Books on Architecture)
I purchased this book after JoeRobinetBushcraft , a guy I watch from youtube who does Bush Craft builds, recommended it. I found the information in this book to be really well laid out and easy to understand. If you enjoy any aspect of building wilderness shelters or enjoy camping in a shelter you made then this is the book for you. If nothing else this is a very informative and interesting book to read and I am happy with my purchase of it.
My 13-year-old boy scout asked for this book. After reading bits and pieces for a week or so, he enlisted his brother and some neighborhood boys to go build some "shelters" in the woods down the street. They kept talking about the shelter and I figured it was typical exaggeration. A few of us adults walked down one day to see the shelter -- WOW! It was impressive -- and it stood up to the recent ice storms that left people without power for weeks. All built with branches and saplings in the woods.
The book inspired them. It's old school and not politically correct, which makes me like it that much more. Some of the words in there have led to interesting discussions at our house about how words have evolved and how views and attitudes have evolved over the past century.
If you ever have the opportunity to build a camp, playhouse, or cabin in the woods, then you should definitely read this book before you start. It has illustrations and examples of every sort of woodland shelter from a single-person brush lean-to to quite elaborate cabins, with simple layouts for the latter. There are also sections on some of the skills necessary to build the examples, such as how to split shakes and shingles and how to store and notch logs for a cabin. He also shows samples of cabins of different regions, historical shacks built by railroad workers and sod farmers, and platform shelters similar to the Seminole chickee suitable for damp or marshy ground. There is even an extensive section on home-made latches and door lock, including a couple of combination locks!
