waterproof clothing. Or a new tent? 
It is your intention to take a much longer 
trip this time, than usual. And you may 
be located where you do not have ac¬ 
cess to sporting goods houses where all 
of your wants can be filled. In fact, 
even the best of us are often in doubt 
when it comes to knowing where to 
get the thing we want at the right 
price. You wish you had a friend at
