Optional individual equipment.—Extra dark glasses may be carried, although one pair in community equipment should be sufficient. On long trips extra optical glasses should be carried if needed. Emergency food is desirable. For pitching the individual tent above timber-line, three 10-inch duralumin tent stakes weighing only 2 ounces are enough. Tent stakes are not essential, however, for skis and poles serve better, and the tent need not—in fact, should not—be left pitched when one is away from it. In severe climate, windproof overpants may be essential. They should be made of material similar to that of the parka. For those using optical glasses, a case will be found useful at night. |
