warmest clothing—all flannel or woollen, including 
caps, gloves, stockings, etc., both for day and night. 
2. Remember that nothing can be dried in a tent. 
Always, therefore, hold back in reserve at least one full 
set of clothes solely for sleeping in. Keep this reserve 
in the “ sleeping-bag,” and you are then sure of a dry 
change when you come in, wet, at night. In the morn¬ 
ing it does not so much matter putting on damp 
clothes, but it is of vital importance to be dry and warm 
at night. 
I use the word “ dry ” in a relative sense, since, 
after a week of rain under canvas, nothing is actually 
dry—wooden matches won’t strike, and ’baccy hardly 
burn. After a fine dry stalking-season the year before, 
one is apt to forget these dangers, and to neglect sufficient 
provision against them. 
3. Wear waterproof clothing, as far as possible— 
I have found Gabardine very useful myself—and a 
short macintosh skirt runs the rain clear of one’s knees. 
Provide plenty of waterproof ground-sheets as a pro¬ 
tection for beds, baggage, etc., during the day. 
4. Never leave camp without a compass and the 
sheets of the Ordnance map for twenty miles around in 
your pocket. These sheets can be bought for a shilling 
apiece. 
5. Commissariat.— (a) Solids. —Corned beef, tinned 
ox-tongues, and the like, are portable, and serve the 
purpose till you have stocked the larder with venison, 
ptarmigan, and trout. A piece of ham can be bought at 
the last Norwegian town, and a few tins of preserved 
peaches, pineapples, etc., supplemented also by fell- 
berries, will help to atone for the absence of vegetables.
