down, decide that you _can_ do without a
number of things thought at first to be indispensable.

In addition to your camp dress described, the following list forms a
basis to work upon, to be added to, taken from, or substitution made
according to location, climate, and nature of the country where you will
pitch camp:

One extra suit of wool underwear. Wash suit as
soon as changed.

One extra pair of stockings. Every morning put on
a fresh pair, washing the discarded ones the same
day.

One high-necked, long-sleeved, soft, woven
undershirt for cold days.

One extra thin middy-blouse for hot days.

Three pocket handkerchiefs, each laundered as soon
as discarded.

One kimono, soft, warm wool, buttoned down front,
not eider-down (it is too bulky), color brown or
dark gray.

One bathing-suit without skirt, made in one-piece,
loose, belted waist with bloomers; suit opened on
shoulders with strong button and buttonhole
fastenings.

One warm sweater with high turned-over collar and
sleeves good and long. On the trail carry your
sweater by tying the sleeves around your waist,
allowing the sweater to hang down at the back.

One pair of gloves, strong, pliable, easy-fitting
chamois, if you feel that you need them. The bare,
free hands are better.

One pair of strong, snug, well-fitting leggins
matching camp dress in color, with no buttons or
buckles to tangle on underbrush. The fastening can
be covered by smooth outer flap.

One pair of felt slippers or thick-soled moccasins
for tent.

Four extra strips of elastic for renewing those in
knees of bloomers.

One large, strong, soft silk or cotton
neckerchief, for protecting neck from sun, rain,
and cold, also good to fold diagonally and use for
arm sling or tie over hat in a hard wind; silk is
best.

Two head-nets if your stay is long, one if short,
to be worn in case of swarms of pestiferous flies
and mosquitoes. Especially needed for protection
from the midge, black-fly, etc., found in northern
forests and elsewhere during the spring and
