Answer 2

Camping Out
by Ernest Hemingway (extract)

Thousands of people will go into the bush this summer to cut the high cost of living. A man who gets his
two weeks’ salary while he is on vacation should be able to put those two weeks in fishing and camping
and be able to save one week’s salary clear. He ought to be able to sleep comfortably every night, to eat
well every day and to return to the city rested and in good condition.

But if he goes into the woods with a frying pan, an ignorance of black flies and mosquitoes, and a great
and abiding lack of knowledge about cookery, the chances are that his return will be very different. He
will come back with enough mosquito bites to make the back of his neck look like a relief map of the
Caucasus. His digestion will be wrecked after a valiant battle to assimilate half-cooked or charred grub.
And he won’t have had a decent night’s sleep while he has been gone.

He will solemnly raise his right hand and inform you that he has joined the grand army of never-agains.
The call of the wild may be all right, but it’s a dog’s life. He’s heard the call of the tame with both ears.
Waiter, bring him an order of milk toast.

In the first place he overlooked the insects. Black flies, no-see-ums, deer flies, gnats and mosquitoes
were instituted by the devil to force people to live in cities where he could get at them better. If it
weren’t for them everybody would live in the bush and he would be out of work. It was a rather
successful invention.

But there are lots of dopes that will counteract the pests. The simplest perhaps is oil of citronella. Two
bits’ worth of this purchased at any pharmacist’s will be enough to last for two weeks in the worst fly
and mosquito-ridden country.

Rub a little on the back of your neck, your forehead and your wrists before you start fishing, and the
blacks and skeeters will shun you. The odor of citronella is not offensive to people. It smells like gun oil.
But the bugs do hate it.

Oil of pennyroyal and eucalyptol are also much hated by mosquitoes, and with citronella they form the
basis for many proprietary preparations. But it is cheaper and better to buy the straight citronella. Put a
little on the mosquito netting that covers the front of your pup tent or canoe tent at night, and you
won’t be bothered.

To be really rested and get any benefit out of a vacation, a man must get a good night’s sleep every
night. The first requisite for this is to have plenty of cover. It is twice as cold as you expect it will be in
the bush four nights out of five, and a good plan is to take just double the bedding that you think you
will need. An old quilt that you can wrap up in is as warm as two blankets.

Nearly all outdoor writers rhapsodize over the browse bed. It is all right for the man who knows how to
make one and has plenty of time. But in a succession of one-night camps on a canoe trip all you need is
level ground for your tent floor and you will sleep all right if you have plenty of covers under you. Take
twice as much cover as you think that you will need, and then put two-thirds of it under you. You will
sleep warm and get your rest.
