More Kinks for the 
Kamp Kook. 
ETAIL of Folding Kamp Kup- 
board—for a size 18”x24”x9” is 
shown, with measurements. There are 
pockets up and down and across at 
each corner and end. These are for 
“stiffener-sticks,”’ which tie at their 
crossing as shown in “rear 
view.” The pockets are 
built after the fashion of a 
fishing-rod-bag-case, that is, 
made up of a series of 
pockets, into which split 
sticks are thrust to make 
the shelf bottoms. These 
pocket-shelves are 9”x18” 
and are sewed to rear and 
one side wall, leaving one 
end, that facing the button- 
hole opening, through which 
the sticks are slipped to 
make the shelf, open but 
sewed around the edge of 
the pocket shelf to the edge 
of the opening. After the 
sticks are in place, the but- 
ton-hole is closed by a flap 
that ties shut, closing the 
side. = 
Detail of bark dipper— 
“a” is a circular piece of 
clear bark about 15” in 
diameter. The base of the 
cup-inner circle is about 3” 
with the sides 6”. Fold the 
heavy over onto the lighter 
dotted lines, as shown in 
“pb”, “ce”? shows the crotch 
handle, split at one end, 
slipped down on cup and 
lashed in place or sewn, closing with 
spruce gum. 
Water buckets—9” diameter and 12” 
high. Take a piece of water-proofed 
rope and make two 9” circles. Cut a 
circular piece of 8 or 10 oz. canvas, as 
in “a”, of 10 inches, which allows for 
1” hem; sew one of the rope hoops into 
bottom, allowing the hem lip to pro- 
trude. Cut a piece of canvas 29” long, 
“b”, for the sides; sew to bottom lip 
after hemming top around the second 
rope-hoop, turn inside out and finish 
off with a “French seam.” Set a pair

I think Dwight L. Frank- 
lyn was the first to use the following 
kink. Build your bucket with one side 
flat as shown by the top view “c”. A 
piece of wire braided into the rope hoop 
for the distance of the width of the 
bucket across the back will hold the 
hoop in place. The flat side fits to 
pack and latches tight. 
Joining wire hoops—is an easy mat- 
ter if you insert the ends into a small 
piece of brass tubing, “a”, and tap the 
ends to pinch them down on the wire. 
“b” is the “filed-notch” method, after

which they are wrapped with a bit of 
finer wire and finished off. In “c” you 
bevel down the half of each end, press 
them together to match, and wrap fin- 
ishing off with an invisible knot. 
Toasting sticks were made famous at 
the time the first fire was lit on this 
earth. A sharpened twig, thrust into 
a bit of meat, propped before a fire has 
been man’s quick method 
of heating animal food since 
Adam. Perhaps he was 
more successful than I, but 
with a single prong the 
stick will drop my fish or 
meat into the ashes, unless 
closely watched, as soon as 
it is 2/3rds cooked and—lI 
like mine cooked. Again 
the three way fork “a”, 
comes into its use, “b”. 
Another type is shown in 
“ce” and “d”, and both beat

Burning glass—Slip a 
“burning-glass,’—such as is 
owned by every boy—into 
your pocket, or better still, 
carry it in a little chamois 
bag. With it you can start 
many a fire.

Mosquito-Proof Tent 
df HE top is formed with 
a light hoop, about 2 
feet in diameter, covered 
with muslin like the head 
of a drum. Two strong 
pieces of tape are sewn from side 
to side of the hoop, crossing each 
other at right angles, and at the 
center where they meet is attached a 
thin rope about 10 feet long. To the 
muslin at the rim of the hoop is sewn 
a quantity of coarse- cheese-cloth or 
“tarletan,” descending so as to form a 
bell. 6 feet in height and 8 feet in di- 
ameter at the ground. Around the 
lower edge, at intervals of 2 feet, are 
small tape loops for pegging out wide 
when two or three people wish to sit 
inside.
