Guarding a Camp Chest against Theft
Unless a camp chest is secured to the ground so that it is difficult for marauders to carry it away it cannot be left at unguarded camps without some danger of theft. By fitting the chest, A over stakes, B set into the ground with crosspieces, D a secure fastening is provided. Cleats, C, with holes for lag screws, are fitted into the bottom of the chest, making it easy to remove the fastening when desired. The cleats are kept in the bottom of the chest when not in use.—K.
