The woodsman and his one companionmust carry cooking utensils, axes, raw provisionsof flour, meat, beans, coffee, sugar, rice,pepper, and salt; maps, plats, books for fieldnotes; the simplest and lightest possible equipmentof surveying implements; and, lastly, tentand blankets for shelter and covering at nightto protect them from storm and cold.
