A short, simple
system of signalling calls should be adopted.
One compass, durable and absolutely true.
One watch, inexpensive but trustworthy. Do not
take your gold watch.
One package of common post-cards, with lead pencil
attached. The postals to take the place of
letters.
One package writing-paper and stamped envelopes,
if post-cards do not meet the needs.
One pocket-knife, a big, strong one, with
substantial, sharp, strong blades, for outdoor
work and to use at meals.
One loaded camera, in case which has secure
leather loops through which your belt can be
slipped to carry camera and hold it steady,
leaving the hands free and precluding danger of
smashing the instrument should a misstep on mossy
stone or a trip over unseen vine or root suddenly
throw you down and send the camera sailing on a
distance ahead. Such an accident befell a girl
camper who was too sure that her precious camera
would be safest if carried in her hand.
