Camping, or outdoor living, is an important recreation
activity for many people in America.  Camping has its roots
in the wilderness living of the pioneers.  Camping includes
everything from simply spending a night in a backyard tent,
to that of living for weeks in the wilderness, miles from a
town.  The camper may travel on foot, horseback, or any way
he wants.  No matter how or where the camper goes, even the
thought of camping makes him restless for the freedom which
it offers.  Camping can ignite within each of us an outdoor
spirit, the likes of which motivated our American pioneers.
     The camper should give great care to the proper choice
of clothing.  The legs ought to be entirely covered by long
trousers; a camper never wears shorts except while lounging
around the camp.  Wool shirts are always better than cotton
ones in both winter and summer.  They dry rapidly when wet,
and they keep the body at a more even temperature.  Camping
shoes should be a trifle larger than street shoes.  And two
pairs of woolen socks should be worn for padding.  You need
to always wear a head cover in wooded areas.  A narrow brim
felt hat or a hunter type cap is generally said to be best.
