A Comfortable Seat for Campers
jSJOBODY expects camp life to be as comfortable ag things are at home; but wo have often felt, when camping, that a nice springy seat would be a pleasant change to the hard, unyielding ground. If you want to fit up a comfortable camp seat, take three stout poles—scouts wilil, of course, use their poles—place them in a bundle on the ground and tie them tightly together, about 3in. frcm one eiad. Whon this is done, lift up one of the poles and revolve it through half a circle, carrying it down to the ground again, but away from the other two. Now raise the threo poles, bound end upwards, spread out the feet and you have a very rigid tripod. Next, take a ground sheot—the smallest one you have —fold it into a triangle and tie each corner to one of the legs of the tripod, about a foot above the ground. This makes a very comfortable seat.
