30 PRAIRIE AND FOREST. 



can not be too highly prized for rough and hard service. 

 Another commodity they furnish, although receiving its 

 name from me, I would strongly recommend no person 

 going in for roughing to be without, viz., the Ubique bag, 

 for it possesses all the convenience of the ordinary sailor's 

 bag, can be turned into a pillow at night, or, if necessity 

 compels you, if in a canoe or open boat that leaks, you can 

 place your feet in it, and thus be thoroughly protected from 

 damp of every description. Of course there are numerous 

 other things you may advantageously add to your kit, but 

 do not forget that every superfluous pound of baggage is 

 to be avoided, for long marches on tired horses have to be 

 made, and rough and weary portages to be traversed, across 

 which every ounce of unnecessary luggage will add to the 

 fatigue of the bearers, and not unfrequently produce grum- 

 bling and lack of discipline, two objectionables to' be given 

 a wide berth to, for they destroy much of the pleasure at- 

 tached to roughing beyond the boundaries of civilization.
