Show IE JE E 12 1921 THi e 9 p WHAT EVERY V 91 CAMPER SHOULD HAVE IN HIS NEEDS AND COMFORT By J J. J CECIL ALTER I I Camping journ Journeys may be made into warm arm dry regions like hike Zion national park or Into lh the Kaibab where the summer months are cool an and showery and they may be made Into regions Ions where supplies and conveniences are abundant or where there are none at atall atall atall all and they may be made b by people I accustomed to a variety of t circumstances circumstances circum circum- stances and conveniences con at home Thus the requirements requirement will vary so widely that a specific list of oC articles for the needs and comforts cannot be made by any person for tor another Probably the best way yay Is to plan the Journey thoughtfully and In detail In advance M looking forward to anticipate the dally daily routine and needs as 38 nearly as possible The food requirements divided into three meals a da day daj and confined clos closely ly to the usual variety with about 50 60 per cent added to the amount may be bo ascertained In advance ad advanCe advance ad- ad I I vance for A a. trip of even two weeks with fair accuracy It Is better to err erron erron erron on the side of excessive amounts and of greater variety so as to provide against rapidly growing appetites and deterioration or loss Joss PROPER BEDDING Bedding probably the next most Important Important important Im Im- requisite for tor the tenderfoot should be ample especially if It the camping be In the high country As much covering should be taken as would be used on a sleeping porch in winter A long canvas paulin to go goun gounder gounder un under er and an over o the bedding or the bed will k keep ep ground moisture and andrain andrain andrain rain from the bed A mattress of only a few blankets will prove hard for many and if the camper is not accustomed to tomed ned to sleeping on the ground it is es essential that a a. canvas cot or an air mattress or an abundance of oC bedding be provided unless there is time and nd opportunity to build a a. bed with hay or pine boughs It Is an easy thing to lose several nights' nights sleep while getting used to a a. ahard ahard hard bed The canvas cot must have bave ample bedding against the cot or the will get cold from below Just why automobile makers have ha not provided provided provided pro pro- vided more generally for fot sleeping in inthe inthe inthe the car on the cozy cushions no camper can understand for surely a a. bed Inthe in inthe inthe the automobile Is the cleanest softest warmest t airiest and the safest from vermin snakes rain and ground floods PROTECTING THE SKIN The mountain climate averages cold coldor or cool at night but rather warm inthe Inthe in inthe the daytime when the sun shines also there is apt to be an occasional shower of drenching proportions Hence Bence in selecting the clothing for tor all da day and evening wear from foot to head the wide variety of weather must be considered con Cosmetics are more or less essential depending upon the natural delicacy of the skin even even a man should not as assume assume assume as- as sume that he can go from an office into the sun and wind of ot a dry climate for tor a prolonged period without giving proper thought to his lips and his face tace The gentleman will shave less frequently frequently fre fre- fre than when at home and the lady will endeavor in devious lous ways was to acquire her tan very gradually let it be a burning glow instead FOR GENERAL COMFORT Reading matter is as necessary as asat asat asat at home and a hammock or an easy canvas camp chair with a comfortable back is as essential as Is a resting place at home There will be hard work enough about the tho camp without adding the labor of sitting about on the rocks or against the trees if the thesta sta stay be of any considerable length A small card eard table or a piece of oC composition composition com com- position board is often very desirable on which to serve meals especially where there is much dirt or debris If It there is to be any great amount of hiking necessary to reach the primary or any subordinate destination the ex extras extras extras ex- ex tras in the equipment even In food and bedding may be deleted without great restraint ordinarily for one may toll toil many hours with a load that at III best may bring but a few minutes comfort or nce Tr Try not to load yourself yourself your your- self down like a a. mule but stick It out like a man a woodsman told me mo One timeA time A camp grate for the fire tire or pOssibly possibly bly one of oC the new gasoline burning camp stoves sto may be taken We made a fine camp grate with the steel runners of a coaster sled and some hea heavy wire large enough for two frying pans pan yet as thin as ng a a. board when b breaking camp Matches must be taken for the fire a a. reliable flash lamp for fot use at nt night and If the campers camp camp- ers must sit It up late bate some somo continuing burning lamp must be provided ed Better Detter Bet Det- ter however ever retire with the tho sUn fUn and andrise andrise rise with It Daylight saving M. of this sort will wilt mean more mora than Just that that that- It will mean a new experience well worth having An ax to Cut the tho wood or the brush a n shovel sho to bury the tho camp refuse and find run a n. fire line about the CAmp a n. compass compass com com- l pass for tor the tho hike and a barometer for tor the th s climb the tho Journey and nd the weather a n. fountain pelt with a Ink and a diary or notebook and a n. writing board or book book If if fC needed GET A CAMERA Tackle for fishing or fowling pieces for Cor game Personally I use uso a n kodak for fot all nil my shooting and find sporting and andI I strongly recommend recommence It The kodak Is III better than thin a good m memory mOr and a II timber limber r tongue for bringing horns home th the pleasures of oC the trip Better Detter o overload ud udon on films than t to run short at nt a critical time dont don't shoot anything more than thana a n. few yards distant with a kodak if It can be h helped l ed an and use the tho tripod freely and take tako pictures any time and andIn andIn andin In any place Make the kodak do for tor you what for others and you to too will prefer this sort of ot shooting I should say finally that thai the greatest requisite for tor the tho vacAtioner cl r to acquire lre is a correct conce conception of oC what a n. nn n vaca vacation tI then tion In any place offers otters and n how much hard harel work worle there Is and how many miny home comforts comfort's are arc to be omitted d The Tho greatest thing to tike tiko along Is the determination to have a vacation When a 1 fretful fault finding lion tion goes goes along and complains about the dust th the heat and fears tears for the babies or the business at home and finds the tent or the cabin or the camp unbearably dirt dirty and discovers ers that the work ork of cooking wood cutting bed making cleaning and camp moving are ure unbearably great then it Is that a vacation vacation vacation va va- cation Is needed most moet by the one who has just had one |
