112 THE AXGLER AND HL'XTSMAX 



If you have facilities for taking an extensive outfit, 

 including camp cot, camp stove, etc., of course the roll- 

 pack combination bed would not suffice, unless you prefer 

 to " rough it" instead of trying to purchase every article a 

 luxurious outing would demand. I am offering sugges- 

 tions for the average outer, recognizing that the average 

 outer is not a millionaire. However, even some million- 

 aires prefer as simple outfits as possible, which do not en- 

 tail the worry and bother a lot of surplus parapher- 

 nalia causes. Hence, it is not only useless to de- 

 scribe the more elaborate things that may be taken 

 on. a winter camping trip, but it is unnecessary 

 because the average outer does not wish to be burdened 

 down with the manifold " household duties" such outfits 

 incur. Their wives (if they are married men) have per- 

 haps given them an inkling of the manifold domestic duties 

 to be performed about the home, and they have 110 further 

 inclinations along this line. What they are after is life 

 as near the primitive as possible to attain, which is the 

 word ''simplicity" itself. 



< < The greatest care must be used in picking out the es- 

 sentials, and in eliminating the non-essentials. If the 

 camp is only to be a temporary affair, a sort of wigwam, or 

 tent, and the camper intends moving from place to place, 

 depending upon game signs, etc., then it is inexpedient to 

 take with one more than is absolutely and positively nec- 

 essary. When this rule is disobeyed, it results in the loss 

 of the greater part of the surplus luggage, for sooner or 

 later the camper will have to sacrifice a part of a too bur- 

 densome pack on some long portage or mountain trail, and 

 a little foresight will save him dollars as well as lost energy 

 and much aggravation. If these suggestions are carried 

 out, you will be benefited. 



The "Grub": 



The word "grub," as here applied, is probably slang, 

 as it really means "to dig," and in another sense means
