In reply to inquiries as to necessary outfit for camping and
woods-travelling, the author furnishes the following lists:--

oatmeal; baking-powder; matches; soap; pepper; salt; 1-3 lb.
tobacco--(weight, a little over 20 lbs.). This will last much longer if
you get game and fish.

pails; 1 frying-pan; 1 cup; 1 knife, fork, and spoon--(weight, 4 lbs.

More fishing-tackle; camera; 1 more pair socks; 1 more suit
underclothes; extra sweater; wading-shoes of canvas; large axe;
