CAMPING

The pioneer way

BY CLAUDETTE SANDECKI

The Webster family of
Kamloops were about to leave
on their vacation when Eaton's
delivered their new tent. It
wasn’t until they pitched camp
400 miles from home that they
learned the tent wasn’t the one
they had ordered; they had to
squeeze their family of seven
into a tent designed to sleep
four.

A rehearsal camping trip
would have prevented the
dilemma. As it was, they were
forced to continue their
vacation in this inconvenient,
fashion.

A rehearsal camping trip, like
a shakedown cruise, can work
the bugs out of your craft, The
trip need not be weeks long nor
miles distant to be effective.

Camping overnight ten miles
from home can be as revealing
as camping on the shores of a
wilderness lake accessible only
by helicopter. It is essential
only that you rely upon your
own equipment and ingenuity,
forsaking hydro and telephone.

Pitch camp, cock supper,
spend the night and if you wish,
return home the following
morning. Even this brief
experience will show you where
your outfit needs modification:
equipment that may require
repair; what’s been forgotten:
things that are not essential and
should be jettisoned.

Veteran campers who take to
the woods at every opportunity
store all their camping gear in
one corner ready to be tossed
into the vehicle at a moment's
notice. Tent, lantern, tools,
procery staples in one box,
cooking utensils and dishes in
another. Between trips, they
make it a rule never to borrow
so much as a cup of sugar from
the camping gear. That way
they never find themselves
camped out drinking sugarless
coffee or stabbing a tin of beans
with a screwdriver for lack of a
can opener. With two master
lists (one for equipment, the
other for last minute groceries,
clothing, toiletries and other
personal items) they can be
ready for an extended campout

in minutes, and with nothing |

But for those of us who camp
only occasionally, a rehearsal
trip is worthwhile. It can
reveal:

1. How much time you should
allot for setling up camp at
night and for breaking camp in
the morning. Knowing this, you
can more accurately estimate
the mileage you might expect to
travel each day and
consequently the distance
between overnight stops. In this
way you can plan your
overnight stays ahead of time
and be sure of a campsite.

2. What additional equipment
you need to balance
convenience with comfort.

3. Which items are
superfluous, for instance,
clothing. Most of us tend to
pack enough clothing to get us
through four seasons when in
fact we'll probably spend the
entire vacalion wearing
bluejeans and a sweater, with a
jacket added on cotd days.

4. Which categories need
beefing up-- more woolen socks,
sweaters, quilts, a can opener,
bug spray, and any other
overlooked comforts.

5. Work out a routine for
quickly setting up camp. Ever
wrestle with a tent before a
circle. of puzzled campers?
Much better to get this in hand
with only your immediate
family to cluck over your
ineplitude.

6. Any shortcomings in your
overall camping arrangements.
You'll discover which cupboard
drawers stick; that the hitch
ball on your towing vehicle
needs lubricating; that the
brakes on the trailer have more
prab than the brakes on your
car. You may decide to leave
that motoreycle home to lighten
the load on the front end of your
pick-up. Bicycle riders will
soon agree they need a few
weekends of practice riding
before they tackle that Prince
Rupert to Prince George trip.

Tf you discover you just can't
abide cookouts, there's still
time for you to switch to a
motel-restaurant vacation
instead.

the breeding success has been

view of the interest in captive

desire on the part of the Fish

encourage such work, a small
number of birds will be taken if
possible.

The play “Inside Kid’s Head”
performed by and for the
students of Booth Memorial
Junior High in Prince Rupert
recently has been praised by
drama critic Peter Van Der
Lelie.

‘Van Der Leelie wrote that the
two-act comedy, which deals
wit the “‘inside”.
typical junior high school
student going through the
frustrations of a school day, was
staged with impressive
imagination and acting.

The play was directed by Ned
Lemely, English and drama
instructor at the school with
choreography by Susan Lackey,
also an English instructor.

The play which was
performed four times to packed
houses was written by Kieran
Murphy and Ron Ffitch.

Booth Memorial principal
John Ewing agreed the
production was worthy of future
showing and would go on tour if
the school board gave
permission.

Permission was granted and

the students will stage Inside
Kid’s Head at Skeena Junior

High at 8 p.m. Saturday, June 7
26.

“The students, aged 13 to 16,
showed the: audiénees (‘in
Rupert) what is largely
forgotten by many: the play is
entertainment and = must
capture the audience, an
experience the Booth students
obviously knew all about,”’

wrote Van Der Leelle.
