name from me, I would strongly reconmend 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.
