He has draped the American outdoorsman with an infinity of contraptions, all offered as aids to self-reliance, hardihood, woodcraft, or marksmanship, but too often functioning as substitutes for them.

Each item of outdoor equipment grows lighter and often better, but the aggregate poundage becomes tonnage. Aldo Leopold gadgets pockets self Health is the capacity of the land for self-renewal.
