'Touring An excellent treatise of the methods of traveling through 

 Afoot"! the wilderness where reliance must be placed entirely on 

 what the traveler can carry on his back. The author first 

 describes the general precautions to be taken in starting on such an ex- 

 pedition, and then takes up in order the important items, such as packs 

 and packing, footwear, cruising, shelters, bedding, cooking outfit, and 

 rations. The information is adaptable to all kinds of forest as well as 

 mountain work. Those of the Sierra Club who anticipate packing, or 

 as we call them "knapsack" trips, will do well to consult this book.
