Finally bit the bullet and picked up Kepharts Camping and Woodcraft, and Camp Cookery. Camp Cookery looks like just a cookbook for the outdoors, I don't know what I expected it to be though, I will read it. Camping and Woodcraft, which I have just begun, is very informative so far. I have read Nessmuks book, and while it was insightful, it was really his musings on camping outside. Kephart is very technical, and at the same time, it feels like he is just talking with you.
I immediately skipped ahead to his section on knives/hatchets etc. No pics of the famous design, but he did swear up and down in favor of the Woodcraft from Marbles.
A quote from Robert Service that was quoted in the intro, that I thought WSS would like;
From the intro, and Kepharts preface, he seemed to be a troubled man, but a very learned one (catalogued and spent time in many libraries in Italy).
Wanted to add, Kephart writes about not needing, and preventing accumulation of, too much gear
