Campercraft or the Summer Camp 277 



roast meat is not more popular is because it takes so much 

 time and trouble to make it a success. 



During my Barren Ground trip I hit on a remarkably 

 successful roaster that, so far as I know, was never tried 

 before. 



The usual pot-stick is set in the ground (if no tree be 

 near), and the roast hung by a wire and a cord; where they 



Camp-roaster 



meet is a straight or flat piece of wood, or bark, set in a loop 

 of the wire. 



The wind strikes on this, causing the roast to turn; 

 it goes till the cord is wound up then unwinds itself 

 and goes on unceasingly. We used it every day. It 

 was positively uncanny to see the way in which this 

 thing kept on winding and unwinding itself, all day long, 

 if need be.
