EXPENSE OF AN OUTING 



over after camping out thirty days. In round 

 figures it cost me about $14 a day while camp- 

 ing out. This expense can be cut down, if 

 one wishes to economize. Great care, how- 

 ever, should be taken about attempting to cut 

 off too much. 



I have heard much adverse criticism in 

 regard to canned goods, but in my own ex- 

 perience I find them most serviceable. What 

 are generally sold contain, as a rule, a large 

 quantity of water, and this adds unnecessarily 

 to the weight and bulk. A great deal of this 

 may be had in a condensed form; before 

 cooking, water can be added to it. 



The success of a hunting trip depends 

 almost entirely upon the guide. Great care 

 should be taken against securing the services 

 of any one without first finding out something 

 about him in advance. If you are fifty or 

 one hundred miles out in the wilderness and 

 your guide should prove unsatisfactory, you 

 cannot conveniently dispense with his services.
