The following books are from the late 1800s and early 1900s. There are some fascinating images (see below) capturing interesting ways to build out items or in one case, how to hook up your dog to shoulder some of the load(!).
How To Live In The Woods


Hints for Camping and Walking. How To Camp Out.

Canoeing and Camping

The Book of Camping


Camp-Lore and Woodcraft

Alone in the Wilderness

Hope you got something interesting out of these!
Cheers,
