Lyman Receiver Sights 
bring aperture closer to the eye 
without interfering with the action 
of the bolt, and thus greatly in- 
crease the sight radius. This makes 
accurate alignment easier and the 
aim doubly sure. Used with disc, 
they give three sizes of aperture, 
covering practically all hunting and 
target requirements. The No. 21 
($4.50) shown here, and its com- 
panion sight No. 38, with Wind- 
gauge ($6.50), are for Winchester 
1895 and other models.

OUTING PREPARATIONS 
THE EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR THREE MEN ON A 
THREE WEEKS’ TRIP INTO THE NORTHERN WOODS 
By C. R. MAC INTOSH 
HEN a man’s vaca- 
tion is approaching 
he usually reads eve- 
ry article that he can 
find in magazines and 
pores over every 
sporting cat- 
alogue that he can 
obtain and tries to be 
governed by what he 
has read; whether 
right . or wrong, he 
has no means of tell- 
ing and the result usually is that he 
starts on his vacation loaded down with 
things that are utterly useless and in 
the way all the time. Let us condense 
all the articles which we have read, and 
add a goodly share of common sense 
and equip a group of three men to 
go on a three weeks’ trip in the Maine 
Woods and I think that we will have 
an outfit that will be all that is needed 
for comfort and lightness and we will 
eliminate the useless junk that remains 
untouched until breaking up time. 
We will assume that a guide is not 
necessary, though if the three are inex- 
perienced and are going into an untrav- 
elled section, they should secure a com- 
petent guide, and that the men are ex- 
pected to pack their own outfits. Light- 
ness of equipment is the thing that 
counts when there are miles of weary 
hill and dale to travel before the desti- 
nation is reached, and we will hold our- 
selves to the necessary things that will 
make the trip easy, pleasant and profit- 
able. 
T he first thing to consider is the tent. 
For this an eight by ten A tent will 
be about the thing. It should be made 
from a six ounce drill. It is very light, 
but is good for zero weather and not too 
hot for summer weather, and is an easy 
pack for a man. The dishes come next 
and should be of aluminum. For cook- 
ing, the time old frying pan still holds 
it’s place. Get the long handled variety 
and you will save a few burned fingers. 
The rest of the cooking outfit should con- 
sist of four pails of different sizes so that 
they may be fitted one inside the other, 
as they take up less room in the pack and 
should be oval in shape. The largest 
should be about 8 inches wide and 12 
inches deep. This one should be used for 
a water pail, the next in size for cooking 
beans, and the other two for sauce or 
fruits and boiling tea or coffee. These 
should be made of blackened sheet iron 
to hold the heat and stand the rough 
usage. A couple of baking sheets should 
complete the equipment. A stove is hard- 
ly necessary, but one can obtain very 
good collapsible stoves that are light to 
lug and are not very bulky. These are 
usually about a foot wide and one and 
one-half feet long, with ends and sides 
hinged to the bottom and a grooved top 
to receive the sides and hold them firm 
when set up. With the stove should 
come three sections of telescoping pipe 
and a tin ring to fasten to the pipe hole 
in the tent so that the pipe will not burn 
or char the tent when the fire is started. 
A knife and fork apiece and one large 
batter-spoon complete the outfit. 
F or provisions, we should pack at least 
two slabs of bacon. It may not taste 
good at first, but tramping all day will 
make bacon a most satisfying food, and 
three men will make two slabs look sick 
at the end of three weeks. A 30 pound 
sack of flour for biscuits and a can of 
baking powder, dried beans and canned 
pork, a pound of tea, three pounds of 
coffee and ten of sugar. About ten cans 
of condensed milk will last three weeks, 
but more can be taken. We must not 
forget salt and pepper, a box of each and 
butter — a few cans. Margarine keeps 
better than the real thing, but suit your- 
self on this point. Get a thin tea cannis- 
ter with a hole about three inches wide, 
fitted with a screw cover, and fill it with 
three, five cent boxes of matches. Use 
these only when away from the fire and 
when starting one. Pine slivers, lighted 
at the fire, will start a pipe just as well 
as a match and at the same time save 
one. Pocket match boxes are useless. 
Put the matches you wish to carry on 
your person in a small bottle with a tight 
fitting cork and they will be dry after 
you have fallen overboard. You can light 
the ordinary match on the side of the 
bottle if you first roughen it with a three 
cornered file. 
A pair of heavy blankets to the man is 
all the bed clothing needed for the most 
severe weather. In summer, two light 
ones will do. Make a sheet of one and 
a cover of the other. There is not much 
use in suggesting what the man’s attire 
should be; for very few men there are 
who do not have their own ideas as to 
what they want to wear. A flannel shirt, 
khaki trousers, coat, sweater and three 
pairs of woolen socks. Shoes are what
