for the entire trip. Men should have an extra 

 pair of khaki trousers or overalls, and an extra 

 light-w^eight flannel overshirt. Overcoats are 

 not taken, but each one should have a sweater. 

 If a coat is worn it should be made of khaki or 

 some light-weight material. Women should 

 have an extra, light-weight skirt and waist to 

 wear about camp. The skirts, especially the 

 tramping skirt, should be short and should 

 reach not many inches below the knee. Under 

 the skirt shorter knickerbockers of the same 

 color should be worn. These latter are essen- 

 tial for the more difficult mountain climbs 

 where skirts are dangerous to wear. 



3. The underclothing should be such as one 

 would wear in average winter weather in Cali- 

 fornia — i. e., of medium weight, and one change 

 should be taken. 



One of the Chinamen provided by the man- 

 agement will probably be able to do washing 

 at reasonable rates for those who may desire 

 it while in permanent camp. 



4. Footwear is an all-important question. 

 One pair, at least, of stout, well-fitting, easy- 

 wearing shoes, with extra heavy soles contain- 

 ing hob-nails, is essential for tramping. These 

 should be thoroughly broken in before the 

 Outing. The wear and tear on footwear on 

 these trips is very great, and novices have fre- 

 quently had their trips nearly spoiled by un- 

 derestimating the necessity for stout shoes. A 

 light pair of shoes to wear about the camp 

 after the day's tramp will be conducive to
