As I am usually credited with making a cruise or a long woods tramp with exceptionally light duffle, I will give a list of the articles I take along going on foot over carries or through the woods. THE clothing, blanket-bag and shelter-cloth are all that need be described in that line.
I said: "You two just go at the camp; clean the snow off and slick up the inside. Put my shelter-cloth with Eli's and cover the roof with them; and if you don't have just as good a fire tonight as you ever had, you can tie me to a beech and leave me here. Come on, Eli." And Eli did come on.
Sometimes the native hunters would lie out in the open all night without a sign of a blanket or an axe. Cattle hunters in the mountains never carry a blanket or a shelter-cloth, and they sleep out wherever night finds them, often in pouring rain or flying snow.
