Plan Protection for Your Outdoors Equipment

Plastic Containers with Seals Offer Safety from the Elements for Food Supplies to Cameras The outdoors is a place to come alive ... an opportunity to leave work behind ... to relax and escape from the fastpaced pressures of urban living. Whether it’s winding up a line with a fighting bass on the othenend or unwinding everyday tensions with a backyard cookout, there’s a place for everyone outdoors. Once the recreation bug bites, however, be aware that there no longer will be a roof over your head. Modern conveniences are something that wise woodsmen take along with them. Nature offers some challenging tests as well as opportunities. To meet the challenges of the wilderness ... plan ahead. A checklist of things to bring is important. Think carefully of .needs you will have in your outdoor sojourn and make

sure you have the answer before journeying outside. Rain can spoil any recreation activity ... and not only for the few minutes one has to wait indoors waiting for the sunshine to come back out. Equipment left out of doors during a sudden storm can be ruined if not properly cared for and sheltered. Food, beverages, and apparel all are in danger of becoming suddenly soggy, unless the proper precautions are taken care of. Some Con*i<ieration* Cover is a necessity . . . cover suitable to the magnitude of your particular outdoor visit. Easily erected shelters make housing outside available in an instant. More ambitious recreation buffs might find campertrailers more desirable. Make sure the camping equipment you get is large enough for your needs . . . and tough enough to contend

Make Camp Life Safe and Cozy, H arm and Dry with Gas Heater

To keep warm, dry and safe when you go camping, make sure the gas heater in your camper or trailer • is vented directly through the roof, never through the side or walls; • bears the American Gas Association’s Certification Seal; • has an automatic positive shut-off, not just a hand valve shut-off; • gets an ample supply of fresh air through holes in the flooring underneath it, or through louvers or ventilators.
