CAMP FIRES. 



(See illustrations on pp. 25 and 26.) 



Camp stoves should be taken whenever they can be trans- 

 ported. They are safer than open fires, more convenient, re- 

 quire less fuel, and do not blacken the cooking utensils. Collap- 

 sible sheet-iron stoves may be obtained. 



In the absence of a stove an open fire must be built. A safe 

 and serviceable fireplace can be made of rocks placed in a 

 small circle so as to support the utensils. (Figs. 4 and 5.) 

 Where rocks are not obtainable, poles may be used as in 

 figure 2. 



For permanent camps it pays to build a stone fireplace. One 

 is shown in the illustration "Details of Camp Fireplace Con- 

 struction." A piece of sheet iron will prevent the blackening 

 of the pans and makes a better draft.
