with part of one side open toward the fire. [Illustration: Fig. 2. Rectangle tent.] -------------------------------------------------------------------- {166} Fig. 3.--Here the rectangle is folded to make a "lean-to" shelter, with the roof front suspended from a rope or from a horizontal pole by means of cords. The two corners not in use are folded under, making a partial ground cloth. A square open front is presented toward the camp fire. [Illustration: Fig. 3. Baker, or lean-to.] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fig. 4.--Same in plan as No.3, but has a triangular front and only one point of suspension. [Illustration: Fig. 4. Same plan as No.3.] -------------------------------------------------------------------- {167} Fig 5.--Uses all the cloth, has a triangular ground plan, a square front opening, plenty of head room at the back and requires two or more guy lines. This shelter resembles a "toque." [Illustration: Fig. 5. The toque tent.] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fig. 6.--Square or "miner's" tent. Two corners are turned under. This tent is enclosed on all sides, with a door in front. [Illustration: Fig. 6. Miner's tent.] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fig. 7.--Conical tent or "wigwam," entirely enclosed, with door in front. Two corners of the canvas are turned under. [Illustration: Fig. 7. Conical tent, or wigwam/] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fig. 8.--Has a wall on one side and is called a "canoe tent" in some catalogues. It requires two or more guy lines and is shown with a pole support. The front has a triangular opening. [Illustration: Fig. 8. So-called canoe tent. Requires three guy lines, and can be supported by a rope instead of a pole.] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Fig. 9.--A combination of No. 8, with No. 1 in use as an awning or fly. This sketch shows both tent and fly suspended by means of a rope. The "awning" may be swung around to any angle. [Illustration: Fig. 9. Canoe tent with fly.] {168} Fig. 10.--Combination of Nos. 1 and 2; they may be fastened together by a coarse seam or tied with tapes. The ground plan is an equal-sided triangle, with a door opening on one side, as shown. There is no waste cloth. [Illustration: Fig. 10. Combination of Nos. 1
