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. 👉 Subscribe to WayPoint Survival for more episodes of Camp Like Kephart, classic camping adventures, hobo survival lessons, and early 20th-century outdoor wisdom! #HoraceKephart #ClassicCamping #Bushcraft #SurvivalSkills #Woodcraft #OutdoorTips #SuccessfulCamping #CampLikeKephart #SmokyMountains #waypointsurvival Check out the new website and sign up for the WayPoint Survival and Prepping 101 newsletter here: www.waypointsurvival.com Link for purchase of WayPoint Survival Phase 1 Digital Class: https://waypointsurvival.com/digital-course/ For more information on classes, to check out the required gear list, or buy Merch go to: https://waypointsurvival.com/ To support our work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WayPointSurvival Here's a link to my Teespring Merchandise: https://teespring.com/shop/WayPoint_Survival?tsmac=recently_viewed&tsmic=recently_viewed&pid=212&cid=5819https://amzn.to/4n0PKVX
