With the rattle of firearmscomes the tank-a-tink of the pack-train bell, andthe trails are widened and flattened by the hoofs ofmules and horses.

WOOD AND In wilderness travel, three things WA T^R are absolutely necessary to ensure success and comfort,—wood, water, and feed. By feed, I mean grass for the horses. Pack animals are used so often in this work, and so much depends on their ability to travel, that all comfort should be sacrificed, if necessary, to ensure their getting good food. The experienced hunter or explorer thinks first of his pack animals,. and lastly of himself. However, good camping placescan usually be found, and add largely to the pleas-ures of wilderness life.
