FOOTNOTES:

[1] If your haversack-flap has a strap which buckles down upon the
front, you can run the strap through the cup-handle before buckling; or
you can buy a rein-hitch at the saddlery-hardware shop, and fasten it
wherever most convenient to carry the cup.

CHAPTER II.

SMALL PARTIES TRAVELLING AFOOT AND CAMPING.

We will consider separately the many ways in which a party can spend a
summer vacation; and first we will start into wild and uninhabited
regions, afoot, carrying on our backs blankets, a tent, frying-pan,
food, and even a shot-gun and fishing-tackle. This is _very_ hard work
for a young man to follow daily for any length of time; and, although it
sounds romantic, yet let no party of young people think they can find
pleasure in it many days; for if they meet with a reverse, have much
rainy weather, or lose their way, some one will almost surely be taken
sick, and all sport will end.

If you have a mountain to climb, or a short trip of only a day or two,
I would not discourage you from going in this way; but for any extended
tour it is too severe a strain upon the physical powers of one not
accustomed to similar hard work.
