 Ont 



In the Open— The National Forests of Washington 



The following table has been prepared by the Forest Sen.'ice and will ser\'e 

 as a handy reference and guide for campers. The needs of two, four, six, or eight 

 persons are separately provided for. 



Column A indicates a complete equipment, all that would be considered neces- 

 sary and convenient for a stay of a month or more; or in case transportation is 

 not restricted as to weight. 



Column B indicates an average equipment which will ser\-e the purpose very 

 handily for a week or lo days, and will do for a longer stay. It is suitable for a pack- 

 horse trip. 



Column C indicates a minimum equipment, one that is really insufficient to 

 meet the ordinary needs of a camping party, but which will suffice for a short stay 

 and very simple cooking. It is such an outfit as a party of practical woodsmen 

 might take and get along with in case the packing facilities were very limited as 

 to weight, such as a man-pack trip.

^ It is desirable to have pails of nesting sizes. At least one medium-sized pail of enamel or aluminmn ware is recom- 

 mended for cooking fruits. Stew kettles with bails may be substituted for pails, but usually do not nest as convenienUy. 

 - Fryuig pans with detachable handles are more convenient for packing.
