• We wore just the right clothes,- heavy underclothing, canvas or khaki trousers, blue flannel shirts, leggins, sweaters, felt hats. When khaki gets wet it stays wet,- when canvas gets wet, it dries quickly. Therefore discard khaki and wear canvas.

• Leggins are despised by the average woodsman,- we were not sorry we brought them. We are very glad we wore no coats, despite the prophecies of the knowing ones. They are in the way on the carries, and a sweater is the best all around garment for the same purpose. As to shoes, we were half sorry we did not get moccasins, but will try them first before venturing an opinion.

• Had about twenty pounds of extra clothing,- which was just twenty pounds too much. Carry the clothes you wear and an extra pair of socks. When they get wet, a fire will dry them while you lie around dishaible in a blanket. Speaking of blankets, we had three. Four would have been better. No sleeping bags. Take up too much room, are heavy, and hard to pack.

• As to dishes, a "telescoping" set sould have been better, which we did not have. Our pans were light enough, but took up too much room. A granite wear pot was a useless luxury. Used it for nothing save to mix pancakes in. A tin pail or two are better and lighter. Coffee-pot superfluous also. Shall use tin-pail again.

• Were glad we had an axe instead of a dinky hatchet. Light "three-quarters" is best.

• As to canoe, had a seventeen footer,- though diary says sixteen. A sixteen would have done just as well for two,- for three take an eighteen. Three paddles are none too many, though we only had use for two,- they break occasionally, so they say. Saw lots of guide-boats, and few canoes. The pleasure of seeing where you are going however, off-sets any advantage in speed possessed by a guide-boat to say nothing of both being able to work at once. And as far as seaworthyness is concerned, we saw no difference. We had a carrying yoke. Some advise us to use paddles, but I prefer the yoke.

• The tent was just right, though a dilapidated looking affair. Was pretty well tested as to possible leakage on Seventh Lake and Eagle.

• Ponchoes were found indispensable. Used on tent-floor at night and as rubber-coats on rainy days. Also were a fine pack-cover.

• Medicine chest came in handy once or twice, but some of the truck could have been left at home. It depends on the season and the constitutions of the travellers individually.

• Fishing-tackles were all that were needed. Revolver was superfluous. Hunting knife indispensable. Also folding lantern, for candles.
