Camping in a trailer or cam-
per-coach can be a happy holiday
if you plan it properly but it can
be one big headache if vital
necessities are forgotten.

One fly fisherman once left his’
book of flies on his work bench
and didn’t realize it until he and
the family had set up camp in the
wilderness. However his wife had
thoughtfully brought along her
sewing and mending ‘kit. He was
able to tie some flies using her

actually caught a good mess of
trout.

It is not uncommon to see a
truck-trailer with a small
motorcycle strapped in front, a
boat on the roof and a tent roped
to the boat as extra necessities.

Extra furniture should include
folding lightweight, aluminum
chairs, tables, and lounges. that
can substitute as beds. A folding
table comes in handy when extra
company arrives. Waterproof
awnings, tarpaulins and. canvas
windbreaks are always handy for
cool or showery evenings.

Don't forget extra propane gas
lamps and bettery lights. Candles
are a muSt, just in case all other
forms of lighting fail, and: they
are handy for starting camp-
fires; a few wax. shavings will
take the place of paper.

Check. your match supply and
always keep some in one of those
plastic . waterproof pill boxes.
Keep one at the camp and always
carry. one pill box of. matches
with you. A storm could leave you
stranded miles away from. your
campsite and dry matches can
mean your. survival.

Camp tools should include the
fundamental tools off your work-
bench such as hammer, pliers,
wrench, screwdriver, nails, etc.
A short shovel,‘axe and a pruning
or cross-cut saw comes in handy
Be.

size. sure. you. have

safety pins, wool and thread, and.

for whittling logs to camp-fire_

emergency. car. equipment such.

as a jack, chains, a cable, and
tire repair outfit. A fire ex-
tinguisher is a must as is a
huntingknife or a knife with two
blades, a can opener and leather
punch all in one. And don’t forget
a good length of rope, it can come
in handy in. a dozen different
ways.

The camper will have bedding
if you are also carrying a tent you
need extra sleeping bags, mat-
tress, either air or rubber foam
and pillows. Don’t forget. the
pump if it’s an air mattress or
pillow. Ground sheet or cot is
needed on damp ground.

A hammock is nice for lazying
in the sun and mosquito netting is
a necessity if you are travelling
into swamp country.

Camper cooking — utensils
should include frying pan, pots,
bucket, Dutch oven, coffee and-or
tea pot, dishes, plastic or un-
breakable material if possible;
general cooking utensils plus
table. knives, forks and spoons,
salt and pepper shakers, spatula,
can. opener, bottle opener, ice
pick, -cooking mitts, bowls,
cleansers, dish towels, ‘dish pan,
wash basin, small broom and a
long two- pronged fork -- for
roasting marshmallows. over. a
campfire.

Don’t forget your first aid and
sanitary equipment such as. a.
first aid kit, snake bit kit, sun-
burn lotion, ointment for chapped
lips, scrapes, etc., soap, towels,
