OUTFIT AND CAMP EQUIPMENT 25 



brushes, towels, and other articles in daily use. Hooks 

 can also be sewn on in convenient places for hanging 

 up coats, etc. ; and if desired, the whole tent can be 

 made mosquito proof by having nets sewn down the 

 edges inside the doors, so that they fall across each 

 other, and though still allowing a free current of air, 

 effectually stop insects from entering. 



This plan is also very useful in the day-time when 

 writing or other work has to be done, giving complete 

 immunity from the hordes of flies that infest most 

 tropical countries. 



Such a tent of, say, an 8 by 6 feet size ought to be 

 turned out complete under a total weight of 65 lb. 



Besides the permanent tent, a smaller patrol tent 

 might be taken along if short trips of a few days 

 away from the main camp are necessary to get hold 

 of certain trophies, for which the whole caravan need 

 not be moved. 



For wagon and boat work it must not be forgotten 

 that covering sheets will be required to tie over the 

 whole baggage. If this form of transport is being 

 hired, it must be learnt whether or not tarpaulins 

 are being supplied. 



Bed and Bedding. — A good useful fold-up bed can 

 be had at the weight of 16 lb., and a make at this weight 

 should be preferred to any other that exceeds it. 



Sheets should not be taken, only good warm 

 blankets of about 6 lb. weight each and a green 

 canvas pillow of 2 lb. weight.
