Camping Like Kephart – Using 1927 Gear in the Smoky Mountains!
In this episode of Camp Like Kephart, I take Horace Kephart’s original 1927 “Ideal One-Man Camp Kit” and his classic belt rig into the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. Dressed in early 20th-century clothing and carrying authentic reproduction and vintage gear, I spend time camping as Kephart described — testing what we know of his setup, cooking methods, and practical backwoods philosophy. Discover how Horace Kephart, the legendary woodsman and author of Camping and Woodcraft, lived and camped in the mountains that inspired his writing. This is more than a reenactment — it’s a hands-on journey into classic bushcraft and timeless outdoor skills that still work today. ?
