The brains of a moose, sheep, caribou, and in 

 fact of all big animals, are extremely good to eat; and 

 yet they are usually thrown away after the sports- 

 man has gone to the trouble of packing the head 

 into camp. There are men living to-day who have 

 shortened their lives, and suffered the terrors of 

 starvation in the wilderness, when, had they prac- 

 ticed iron-bound economy, they would have had 

 food to spare. 



GRUB 



The grab proposition depends 

 upon your own taste, and the 

 facilities at hand for packing. Flour, beans, tea, 

 sugar, salt, and bacon, are necessities. Anything 

 else depends on how much you can carry. 



BEDS 



Bedding suitable for the "bush" 

 can be secured at any outfitting 

 store or vsdlderness post. In very cold weather — 

 from 1 degrees below zero, down — a sleeping bag 

 is of course the best kind of bed. The sleeping- 

 bag habit is, however carried to excess. 



Many men will load down an outfit with cumber- 

 some bags, when two light blankets would be ample 

 for warmth. And in really serious work, the 

 horse blankets from the pack animals are plenty 

 good enough.
