RECREA TION. 



CHECK LISTS OF ARTICLES CONSTITUTING CAMP OUTFITS. 



With reference to the first of the following lists, it may be noted that a strong man can carry 

 50 pounds 10 or 15 miles a day, comfortably, when accustomed to it. If traveling by canoe, the 

 only addition necessary to make to the loads, in case of portages, would be the canoe and paddles. 

 If no long portages are to be made, a few other luxuries may be added to the list. 



The total weight of such articles, enumerated in the second list, as are to be carried on the pack* 

 animals, is about 320 pounds, or 160 pounds to each animal. With these loads they will travel, com- 

 fortably, 20 to 35 miles a day. As the provisions and cartridges are used up, skins, heads, or other 

 trophies may be added to the loads in their stead. No animal should be allowed to carry more than 

 250 pounds, and small ones not more than 150 to 200. Overloading is cruel, and is nearly sure to 

 cause sore backs. 



If more than one pack animal is provided for each man, then a folding boat, folding cots, chairs, 

 cook stove, and even a table may be carried. For a larger or smaller party, or for a longer or 

 shorter outing, the requisite quantity of supplies may be determined by multiplication or subtraction. 



The dotted lines are intended to hold memoranda of any articles that it may be deemed neces- 

 sary to add, in special cases.
