Point. I first heard of the Wiman One-man Hitch, de- 

 scribed in this present manual, from him. It is beyond 

 question the best of all the one-man hitches. 



Therefore, if this manual seems to have an Army 

 flavor, it is by reason of collecting in a simple intelli- 

 ble form all of the important hitches used in pack trans- 

 portation and with such suggestions that they may be 

 employed as circumstances demand. It is the purpose 

 that this shall be offered for the needs of the explorer, 

 the prospector, packer, the Army service or the pack 

 service in the National Guard. 



And I have relied upon diagrams to express the sim- 

 ple stages of a hitch.
