son, such a thing as game of all sorts and 
variety as it comes. Let me therefore 
point out certain things in weight, that 
must be had. First of all, Flour (sflf- 
raising )—20 pounds. Coffee —about three 
pounds, or its equivalent in powdered 
form. Sugar —five pounds. Salt pork — 
five pounds. Bacon —six pounds. Beans — 
four pounds. Dried apricots and prunes — 
two pounds. Salt —one-half pound. Pep¬ 
per-small box. Add the boxes of bouil¬ 
lon cubes in weight to suit. Also about 
five or six large white onions. 
There in the above we have the cream 
of actual necessities boiled down to just 
what we can get along with. There is 
contained in the above nothing that is not 
pure food value, and with care and con¬ 
sideration it should last out the given time 
without any trouble at all. You can of 
course add to that and subtract from it as 
you see fit. The one big thing to watch 
out for is not to go beyond a certain con¬ 
suming limit. One can overdo. One must 
eat so much and no more, unless the land 
and water add to his fare. And if fish 
is prepared well it is always a delight to 
partake of. 
Eating in modern days is one of our 
worst and most lamentable crimes. We 
know no moderation, but eat and keep on 
eating, often far and away beyond our 
actual limits and needs. For that reason 
men and women grow hog fat. The simple 
life of the woods sharply brings one back 
to the common basis, and it is good in 
that it teaches us anew the severe lessons 
that we should all have instilled in us. If 
we are abject and hopeless slaves of food 
the woods is no place for one. We go 
there to moderate and recuperate. A week 
or two in the woods, however, on rough, 
practical foods will make one fit and he 
grows strong where, replenishing all the 
time in the cities, one grows weaker and 
weaker and more useless. Test yourself 
therefore on the hiking or canoe trail and 
see how you line up as a virile human. 
It may be hard at first, but gradually the , 
great, abnormal food desires die and you, 
adjust yourself to facts pure and simple. 
Unless camp life is worked on some- 1 
what of a scientific plan everything falls 
awry. To gauge things carefully is the 
method. There are some who believe that 
two meals a day are quite sufficient and- 
this proves to be the case. With three 
meals a day it has been said that all one 
is occupied in doing is making meals. 
Which meal of three to discard? Certain¬ 
ly not the morning meal. Be sure to have 
a suitable breakfast, but discard dinner. 
Breakfast and supper are the two big meals 
of the day. Throughout the rest of the 
day one is tramping or cruising. 
O F course upon the canoe trip many 
things may be added that the hiker 
cannot take along, because added 
weight is a detriment to him. The canoe¬ 
ist, however, should most assuredly add 
the reflector-baker by all means. Also the 
so-called wire grate which one pins down 
over the fire on which to do his boiling 
and cooking, etc., is a convenience that I
