Open camps and fireplaces can be used for reasonable periods. “Reasonable” is construed to mean such time as is necessary and proper, and does not exclude others who might be entitled to use the camp, provided the former occupant has used it for a “reasonable” period. The idea is to give no one an exclusive privilege, but to insure to all a fair share of enjoyment. [[275]]
