In writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. 
In the absence of adequate fuel, or 
in stormy weather, need of cooking un- 
der a tent, nothing serves like a small 
gasolene stove. Of the several types, 
one will see the Kampkook, put out by 
the American Gas Machine Co., in 
every camp ground on the main high- 
ways. They serve in emergency. In 
any event, the gasolene stove should be 
small. I have seen a number of gaso- 
lene plumber torches, which had been 
converted into cook stove purposes by 
the making of a grid over the flame. 
One needs, however, a metal plate for 
even distribution of the heat as direct 
contact of the flame means a local burn 
or scorch in food as thick as stews, or 
thicker. 
yaa Ne sewing table saves the 
cook many a back ache. Such a 
table can be carried inside or outside, 
and in camp holds everything off the 
ground. For the weight, it gives as 
much satisfaction as anything in the 
outfit, especially when women have to 
adapt themselves to the novelties of 
camp work. 
The packing of food in an automobile 
seems to have but one answer. After 
many experiments, including a shelved 
sheet iron running board container, 
soap boxes, tin cans, etc., we had made 
a basswood box to stand behind the 
front seats. The size would vary, ac- 
cording to the car, but it would be 
nearly as high as the cloak strap eyes, 
and ten or twelve inches wide. The 
length, according to the space, or de- 
sired cubical contents, up to three feet. 
Care should be taken in measuring the 
space, so that at least one side door 
can be opened, if feasible! Otherwise, 
those in the back seat must climb over 
seats or sidedoor. And many a tour- 
ist outfit demands this. For a long 
trip, for two or three months, say, the 
rear side doors are apt to be sealed 
by the running board and tonneau 
luggage. 
The food box has a hinged cover. 
The inside is just plain. One puts into 
it everything edible—and nothing esle 
than food and _ perhaps. occasional 
dishes. A grub box of ample size, hold- 
ing two or three cubic feet, or even 
more, solves a weighty problem. 
Pee add that many a tourist 
outfit has an outside box, on the run- 
ning board, or across the rear, like the 
cow-country wagons, or sheep herders’ 
family wagons. This outside box has 
a front that lets down, to serve as a 
table, and drawers, cubbies, pigeon 
holes, etc., hold the variety of grub 
and minor dishes. It has one objection, 
in rainy seasons or belts. It is not 
sheltered in stormy weather, and is 
hard to make impervious to dust. So 
many use this outside grub box, how- 
ever, that on some cars, and as a mat- 
ter of choice, it serves best, at times. 
But, box or cupboard, the tourist outfit 
should have a grub container of ample 
size. 
What to eat is of sufficient impor- 
tance for lengthy discussion. The open 
fire will suggest a 15-inch fork, several 
holders to handle hot dishes, a tight 
receptacle in which to carry a large 
supply of matches, an ax, a jacknife 
with which to whittle shavings, etc. 
Bags for duffle are most convenient 
overall. Army bags, costing perhaps 
half a dollar (our were blue denim, 39 
cents), carry clothes, suitcases, over- 
coats, extra shoes, rubbers, etc., one 
for each person. We also found sev- 
eral wheat bags, holding two bushels, 
constantly serviceable. One of these 
bags would carry two cots, or hold the 
grid, a broiler, or carry the tarpaulins, 
waterproof blankets, overcoats, ete. 
Packing the outfit requires experi- 
ence and some few preparations. A 
good running board luggage carrier is 
excellent. It is put on the side op- 
posite the running board bed. This, 
if the side door doesn’t open over the 
bed, and its superimposed tents, closes 
the rear doors, but the carrying space 
is often needed. 
E have a basket hamper, about 
380x30x10 inches. It stands inside 
the running board luggage carrier. It 
carries more than a hundred pounds 
of outfit. Lined with a small water- 
proof blanket, it keeps the contents 
dry. The basket is the best running 
board container I have seen, for it is 
light, strong (made the round trans- 
continental, and now 2500 miles to 
Texas), and it carries a lot of odds 
and ends. Many, however, build a lug- 
gage carrier along the left side of a 
car, and, having lined it with heavy 
canvas, pack it, and cover with the 
canvas—it is a good idea to waterproof 
this canvas, thoroughly, and strap it 
down with buckles. 
Always, string and light ropes are 
indispensible in a traveling camp. I 
always buy six hanks of trot, or white 
cotton line, of large size. This serves 
for tent ropes, and to lash fast any 
thing anywhere. Eyebolts, two in each 
running board, one at the rear fender, 
one just under the windshield posts, 
close to the inside edge, will serve for 
holding one end of lines, while the 
others are run over bundles, under 
their lashing, to rings attached to the 
top and windshield standards. Rail- 
road tie-wire makes the best rings, 
once they are in place. Ordinary small 
iron rings, wired fast serve well. 
HE art of packing a car is simple 
enough. Divide a load into its com- 
ponent part, personal (suitcase, bag, 
It will identify you.
