Camps are either temporary,that is changed from day to day,or they are permanent and may be visited year after year,or they may be used for a few weeks at a time. Temporary camps are the ones we are considering,and these can be elaborate or very,very simple.I prefer the latter,and I am sure the boys will agree with me. During the autumn and when the weather is dry and the nights not too cool, the best way to camp is in the open,sleeping on beds of boughs,about a roaring fire,and with one blanket under and another over. Small dog tents,like the ones our soldiers carried in the Civil War, are cheap and very convenient. Each man carried a section,and two made a tent, into which two men crawled when it rained,but in dry weather they preferred to sleep in the open,even when it was freezing. Shelters of boughs,arranged in an A-formed fashion from a ridge pole make good temporary shelters and are first rate as wind breaks at night.
