Don’t be dowdy in the woods. Dress appropriately.
Do keep a clean camp. Otherwise you will go in for hedgehogs, skunks, flies, and other disease-breeding pests.
If in doubt about drinking water, don’t drink it—at least, not till it is thoroughly boiled.
Do be independent. Camp is no place for necklaces, however beautiful.
Don’t start out camping with a new pair of shoes on your feet.
Do keep from adding to the things you want to take with you, or you won’t be able to reach the “jumping off” place.
Don’t forget your fly “dope.”
If your appetite is good, be polite to the cook.
Don’t forget the box of matches.
Don’t be foolhardy. It might take too long to find you. If you feel that way, have somebody attach a tump line to you.
