OUTFIT FOR NESSMUK CANOE. 
(Continued from page 35.) 
ends are arranged so they can be rolled 
over and tied and may be stuffed either 
with browse and laid on the ground, or, 
better than that, used as a stretcher bed. 
Pillow bag 17x23 inches which when 
stuffed and put inside the tent-bag makes 
a good cushion around camp; cotton flan¬ 
nel bed sheet 58x70 inches; blanket 62X- 
82 inches; “campit” coat and extra pair 
of pants; extra outside shirt and extra un¬ 
dershirt and drawers; also heavy cotton 
socks; two handkerchiefs and wool swim¬ 
ming trunks. It will be noticed that the 
jersey belonging to this suit is carried in 
the haversack as it is much oftener used. 
The U. S. army haversack proved a most 
useful article on a canoe cruise to carry 
all the little things that often come in for 
use during the day, and mine contained the 
following: A short description of it might 
not be out of the way for those who have 
never used one. 
It is a double affair 10 inches across, 13 
inches deep and 4 inches thick for the 
main bag with a pocket sewed on the in¬ 
side of each end 3%x8 inches. There is 
also a loose bag which buttons or fits loose 
inside the large one and flat, measuring 
9x12 inches. The other half consists of a 
large flap that folds over this bag and 
measures flat 14x14 inches, with pocket on 
the inside 10 inches deep, each side of 
which has a seam run down two inches 
from outside edges making two more pock¬ 
ets. 
These are the things I carried in it: Tea, 
coffee, sugar, lard, pepper, knife, fork, 
spoon, also mixing spoon, large pocket- 
knife or hunting knife besides the one in 
my pocket, which is a medium-sized one, 
wool swimming jersey, towel, cake soap 
and pocket-axe. These were in the main 
bag. 
In the inside pocket, the following: 
Small ditty bag the same as Nessmuk 
used, fishing tackle, reel lines, hooks, etc., 
ball cord, tin box matches, also some in 
waterproof bottle and what medicines I 
thought I needed. This is not quite all, 
as the following articles were carried in 
the pocket under the flap: Diary and writ¬ 
ing material, fountain pen, pencil, tooth 
brush, Kodak Jr. iA, and lastly a copy 
of Nessmuk’s Woodcraft. 
A tin bucket, 7^x9 inches high, which 
was tightly canvas covered on the sides 
and bottom and painted with a rope han¬ 
dle contained the following: bacon, 1% 
pounds, flour 2% pounds, corn meal 1% 
pounds in cotton flour bags, small bottle 
yeast powder and 5-ounce box salt. A 
small bag of rice may also be added. 
Cooking utensils in canvas bag 29^ inch¬ 
es in circumference, 10 inches high, closed 
with drawing string top, contained the fol¬ 
lowing : two white enamel dinner plates 
8% inches in diameter stowed in bottom; 
one Berlin cooking kettle 7%x4^ inches; 
one kettle of the same kind 6 %x 4 1 ,4 inch¬ 
es; one bucket 5%x4% inches, tin covers 
for each; one white enamel cup 3%x3% 
inches high, all of enamel ware. I carried 
butter (V2 pound) inside the cup; frying 
pan, of steel, 8% inches across top and 6V2 
on bottom, by 1% inches deep. This stowed 
alongside the kettles when all were nested 
with the handle sticking out of the top. Old 
rags were stowed around the kettles and 
were very useful. 
No doubt some of these things could be 
left at home but I found nearly all of them 
useful and they did not make a very large 
outfit and weighed in all 83% pounds. On 
my next single-handed cruise, I will leave 
my reflector oven at home, as Nessmuk’s 
club bread is very good and less trouble 
and quicker to make. 
[Forest and Stream is in receipt of so 
many requests for the issue of the paper 
containing Mr. Johnson’s previous descrip¬ 
tion of a Nessmuk canoe, and how to build 
one, that arrangements are being made to 
republish the article in an early number, to¬ 
gether with designs and other information.
