Checklist: 

Rubber blanket 2^ pounds. 

Stout wool blanket and lining . . 4^ 

Knapsack, haversack, and canteen • 4 

Drawers, spare shirt, socks, and collars 2 

Half a shelter-tent, and ropes . . 2 

Toilet articles, stationery, and small wares, 2 

Food for one day 3 

Total 20 pounds. 

You may be able to reduce the weight here 
given by taking a lighter blanket, and no knap- 
sack or canteen ; but most likely the food that 
you actually put in your haversack will weigh ' 
more than three pounds. You must also carry 
your share of the following things : — 

Frying-pan, coffee-pot, and pail . . 3 pounds. 
Hatchet, sheath-knife, case, and belt . 3 " 
Company property named on last page . 3 " 

Then if you carry a heavier kind of tent than 
the " shelter," or carry tent-poles, you must add 
still more. Allow also nearly three pounds a 
day per man for food, if you carry more than 
enough for one day ; and remember, that when 
tents, blankets, and clothes get wet, it adds about a quarter to their weight. 

You see, therefore, that you have the prospect 
of hard work. I do not wish to discourage you 
from going in this way : on the contrary, there is a great deal of pleasure to be had by doing so. 

But the majority of men under twenty years of age will find no pleasure in carrying so much weight more than ten miles a day ; and if a party of them succeed in doing so, and in attending to all of the necessary work, without being worse for it, they will be fortunate. 

In conclusion, then, if you walk, and carry all 
your stuff, camping, and doing all your work, and 
cooking as you go, you should travel but few 
miles a day, or, better still, should have many 
days when you do not move your camp at all.
