I recently saw a vintage drawing of a Scout with a bedroll slung over one shoulder and tied together at his other side. Apparently, everything he needed for a "backpacking" trip was rolled inside.

Does ayone know exactly what was rolled into the bedroll and how? I mean, it's obvious that spare clothes and a tarp were in there, but food, pots? I would like to present this technique in a authentic manner.

Some of the old Scout literature shows how to use trees for shelters, beds, etc., but we surely can't do that any more.

I am teaching a HAT Basic Backpacking course next weekend, and thought this would be a nice diversion.

Thanks!
