the hat from being readily knocked off by overhanging branches or blown

=Check List of Apparel=

Go light when off for the woods, take with you only those things which
seem to be absolutely necessary; remember that you will carry your own
pack and be your own laundress, so hesitate about including too many
washable garments. Make out your list, then consider the matter
carefully and realize that every one of the articles, even the very
smallest, has a way of growing heavier and heavier and adding to the
ever-increasing weight of your pack the longer you walk, so be wise,
read over your list and cut it down, decide that you _can_ do without a
number of things thought at first to be indispensable.

In addition to your camp dress described, the following list forms a
basis to work upon, to be added to, taken from, or substitution made
according to location, climate, and nature of the country where you will
pitch camp:

One extra suit of wool underwear. Wash suit as
soon as changed.

One extra pair of stockings. Every morning put on
a fresh pair, washing the discarded ones the same
day.

One high-necked, long-sleeved, soft, woven
undershirt for cold days.
