My last trip made me wish I'd been a Boy Scout as a kid.  I'm an adequate camper  -- we stay mostly warm & dry, have food to eat, don't break our gear & come back alive -- but it's not my strength & I spend way too much time setting up & tearing down.  Before next trip, I'd like to move past "adequate" and on to "halfway decent".

Toward this end, I'd like to do some reading & I'm looking for a recommendation for a good basic camping skills book &/or canoe camping skills books.

I've done some searching & have some ideas (Cliff Jacobson - which ones?), but I thought I should ask for recommendations from y'all on this one.

Thanks in advance!

PS: a 2nd motivation for this is that even what I do know, I don't know well enough to communicate effectively to others (like my kids), so I need to know things well enough be able to teach others also.
