the one concession TO civilization. because you
might have 10 camp where you could not get the
right pole and because you cannot well carry a
fulllength tent pole in a bag. And all your outfit
should be carried in bag or bundle without a
single box OF hard package bigger than your fry

dragged their teepee poles around with them had
they been able to get fresh ones at every camp.
Tent pins you can get In metal; but while they
are compact they are too heavy for carriage. so
these you must cut afresh.
In size your peaked top tent need be only
about seven feet square to accommodate two OF

writer and friend once spent night in the Yel-
lowstone park in winter, when the thermometer
was 20 degrees below zero and we had tent,

six feet Of snow and kept fire going all night.
That sort Of thing is cold work. though tent
would not have helped much. The trapper,
who sometimes covers hundred miles on his

he has not cabin or tent with stove. Even
a good log fire does not offer complete comfort
in case Of rain. Rainy weather is far worse than
cold weather and snow in camp and against rain
you must nave some sort OF ROOF. Bark ana
boughs sound wen. but are hard to get into
practical roofing shape.
Your bed ought to be good, for If you do not
sleep comfortably you cannot enjoy yourself or

most likely II has facilities for leading through
the canvas roof a stoyepipe which constitutes the
