Making a Pack

Making a Pack

To ship as baggage, fold the blankets lengthwise ([Fig. 254]), place them in the middle of your tarpaulin or floor cloth ([Fig. 254]); fold the cover over ([Fig. 255]), then tuck in the ends and roll the package into a bundle and cinch ([Figs. 255] and [256]). A

Sleeping-Bag

Can be improvised from one's blankets by the use of safety pins ([Fig. 257]). A section of the bag ([Fig. 258]) shows how the blankets are doubled. To make a

Back Pack

Fold as in [Fig. 259], then bend up the end as indicated by [Figs. 260] and [261], fold again, [Fig. 262], then fold in the two edges, [Figs. 263] and [264], which show both sides of pack; bend over the top, [Figs. 265] and [266], and strap ready to carry, [Figs. 267] and [268]. For a

Blanket Roll

Fold as in [Fig. 269]; bend in the ends and roll ([Fig. 270]). Strap or lash the ends together ([Fig. 271]).
