150 MANUAL OF PACK TEANSPOKTATION. 



As a flap for the bag, take a piece of duck 12 inches long and 3 

 inches wider than the bag when flattened out. Cut one of the shorter 

 edges in semicircular shape and hem this edge. Attach the straight 

 edge to the upper edge of the bag, lapping 1 inch. Then for securing 

 the flap over the bag, fasten a lace string at the center of the semi- 

 circular edge of the flap and attach a corresponding loop 6 inches 

 from the bottom of the bag.

 underclothing; 3 overshirts; 6 pairs of socks, wool preferred;- 2 over- 

 afls; 1 canvas coat; 1 overcoat; 1 sUcker, or rain coat; 1 extra pair 

 of boots or shoes ; 1 pair of overshoes. 



packer's wall tent. 



Sec. 95. The tent is a wall tent, regulation size. For convenience 

 the upright poles are cut diagonally in two at the center; length of 

 cut, 4 inches. For use the two parts of an upright are united by a 

 collar or sleeve. This is made of stiff tin or iron, shaped to the pole 

 and riveted to the lower joint, so that it will fit well over the diagonal 

 cut. 



The ridgepole is hinged on the flat side at the center of its length. 

 The hinge is screwed on and the ])ole is then sawed in two at the 

 center. 



TOOL sacks. 



vSec. 96, Same as clothes or war bags, but instead of a flap at open 

 end, use a double lace string, and secure as in drawing or closing up a 

 tobacco sack. The sack is used for extra lace strings and for curry- 

 combs and brushes.
