Food (see pp. 51-55).—In calculating weight of food the net of 21/4 pounds per man-day must be increased to the extent of cans or other containers that are carried. Toilet tissue and match requirements will vary with the number of man-days. At least one paper of matches a day—or preferably about 20 wooden matches—should be carried, and the waterproof matches kept in reserve.

Additional emergency equipment.—A light hand ax and sheath is considered essential by many experienced winter mountaineers, for it enables one to provide adequate shelter and fire wherever sufficient timber can be found. It is omitted from the list of advisable equipment because the tent and stove are adequate below, as well as above, timberline (see p. 76). A light shovel is convenient for making camp in addition to its emergency value for avalanche rescue; many also list it as essential. Long trips require boot wax, additional flashlight cells, and a small packet of repair parts for the stove.

Miscellaneous optionals.—These should be kept as low in weight as possible. Tact is required in limiting the number of cameras on a trip. They add appreciably to the weight carried, and it is usually possible to arrange that one camera be taken, other members of the party sharing in its use, the cost of films, and the prints. A spring scale is useful when packs are loaded at the start of a trip—but should be left there.
