While aluminum is much
lighter than other metal, it is not advisable to
take to camp either cup, teaspoon, or fork of
aluminum because it is such a good conductor of
heat that those articles would be very apt to burn
your lips if used with hot foods.
One dinner knife, if you object to using your
pocket-knife.
One dinner fork, not silver.
One teaspoon, not silver.
One plate, may be of aluminum or tin, can be kept
bright by scouring with soap and earth.
Two warm wool double blankets, closely woven and
of good size. The U.S. Army blankets are of the
best. With safety-pins blankets can be turned into
sleeping-bags and hammocks.
One poncho, light in weight to wear over
shoulders, spread on ground rubber side down to
protect from dampness, can be used in various
ways.
One pillow-bag.
One mattress-bag.
One water-proof match-safe.
One belt hatchet in case, or belt sheath small
axe, for chopping wood and felling small trees,
but, be very careful when using either of these
tools.
