{ Top centre: "2"}
odd hair pins mending stuff and scissors
a sweater, my parka I wear skiing, a hat,
two pairs of extra socks, gloves and mocasins?
also the rubber poncho which is a square
piece of material with a whole for your head
and which goes over your sack and also can
be used as a ground sheet under the sleeping
bag which makes it dry & warm sleeping on
{left of text line, pencil: "X"} the ground. I also have some mosquitoe
netting & chocolate. It doesnt weigh too much. {right of text line, pencil: "X"}
Then Pete has about the same with food and
some Rum, bandages etc and the silver etc
Vic has his own stuff as well as the rubberized
silk tent, the box with 24 sketching panels
which is heavy and then most of the food.
We started out with 37 pounds of food at
Shadow Lake but have cut it down considerably
and another time can eliminate quite a bit.
We had about six loaves of bread which as
Vic says goes farther after its a week old.
Several tins of bully beef - It comes in tins
and is like a meat loaf of beef all pressed
together. One tine is just enough for a
meal. We had enough bacon for breakfast &
sometimes oftener and we even had eggs
when we were camped near Moraine Lake.
Though someone eventually sat on them without
our realizing itt and we couldnt use them all.
We also had several cans of sardines but
we forgot about them and only used 2 tins.
We had two jars of honey in the cristilized
form which goes further than jam, also plenty
of butter in fact a pound too much. We had
Norse? Soup which comes in concentrated
powder form, is light to carry, easy to make
and very nourishing. You just crumple the stuff
