double into a socket for the han- 

 dle. This handle is made by form- 

 ing a tin tube with the end ham- 

 mered flat and bent to shape. 



Use small can for cups so that 

 they will nest. The handles are 

 detachable. Make these of strips 

 of tin doubled over twice and 

 pounded flat, then formed to shape.

 mer the rims of the pails flat so 

 the liquids will pour better. Make 

 the bails of any annealed wire 

 bent to fit. 



Additions may be made to this 

 outfit to meet the user's needs. 



I have found the size here given 

 large enough for ordinary fishes 

 with scales not easily detachable. 

 Of course a machine hacksaw 

 blade may be used. I use an "all 

 hard" blade with sharp teeth.

 canoe, using it as a lean-to; it is 

 always spread as a cloth to eat on 

 when friend wife goes along for 

 the day only, and between stops 

 it makes a fine pack cloth. 

 Flattened out, the tent makes a

 the diagram, A is hacksaw blade, 

 9-16 in. wide, 14 teeth to the inch, 

 2^4 in. long outside the handle. 

 The teeth on the blade point to- 

 wards the handle. B is hardwood 

 handle, 2^ in. long. Slot with 

 hacksaw; insert blade; rivet as

 Wade to a knife edge if desired.

 in size. Only the center panel, 

 five by seven feet, is made of 

 heavy duck for the roof. The two 

 end panels, each three feet six by

 roof, one in the middle of the
