Provisions. 



The last point to be considered in the way of 

 equipment for a hunting expedition, in North 

 America is the question of provisions. Here 

 again the individual tastes of the hunter will 

 have to govern his purchases. Personally, if 

 I can get plenty of fat meat to eat and tea 

 to drink, I find I can do very well without 

 anything else but a little flour or biscuit. If 

 I have the means of carrj'iug it, however, I 

 always take with me, in addition to bacon and 

 flour, rice, dried apples, jam, butter, milk and 

 sugar. From whatever frontier town one may 

 start, however, on a hunting expedition in 

 North America, it will alwavs be found 

 possible to lay in a stock of provisions of 

 ahnost every sort and kind known to civilized 

 man.
