Equipment should be in good order before the trip is started. Equipment that fails can be a hazard. Elimination.—Unnecessary articles of equipment and food should be eliminated. Enjoyment of a ski tour varies inversely with the weight of the pack. Pack weight within a party can be kept to a minimum if the group will get together just before departure and weed out all unes-sentials and needless duplications. Every man will want his own toothbrush, but he need not be so particular about his flashlight, ski tip, or repair kit, so long as there is one of each in the party. A good motto is "when in doubt, leave it out." |
