With a head shelter and a sleeping bag he can keep dry and warm

The average city boy or girl does not have an opportunity to become a skilled master of woodcraft, but because we cannot learn it all is no reason why we should not learn something. The best way to learn it is in the woods themselves and not out of books.
A party of four boys makes a good number for a camping trip. They will probably agree better than two or three. They can do much of the camp work in pairs. No one need to be left alone to look after the camp while the others go fishing or hunting or to some nearby town for the mail or for supplies. There is no reason why four boys of fifteen who are resourceful and careful cannot spend a week or two in the woods in perfect safety and come back home sounder in mind and body than when they left. It is always better to take along some one who has “camped out” before. If he cannot be found, then make your plans, decide what you will do and how you will do it, take a few cooking lessons from mother or the cook—if the latter is good-natured—and go anyway. First elect a leader, not because he is any more important than the rest but because if some one goes ahead and gives directions, the life in camp will run much more smoothly and every one will have a better time.
If it is your first experience in camping, you had better go somewhere near home. The best place is one that can be reached by wagon. If we have to carry our supplies on our backs or in a canoe, the amount we can take will be much less. After you have had some experience near home you can safely try the other way. Where you go is of comparatively little importance. Near every large city there is some lake or river where you can find a good camping site. Campers always have more fun if they are near some water, but if such a place is not easily found near where you live, go into the woods. Try to get away from towns or villages. The wilder the place is, the better.
You had better make sure of your camping ground before you go by writing a letter to the owner of the land. It isn’t much fun after we have pitched the tent and made everything shipshape to have some angry landowner come along and order us off because we are trespassers.
In selecting a place to camp, there are several very important things to look out for.
1. Be sure you are near a supply of drinking water. A spring or a brook is best, but even the lake or river will do if the water is pure and clean. The water at the bottom of a lake is always much colder and cleaner than the surface water. When I was a boy, I used a simple device for getting cold water which some of you may like to copy. I took an old-fashioned jug and fastened a strong string to the handle and also fastened this string to the cork of the jug as the drawing shows. The jug was weighted so that it would sink, by means of a piece of stone tied to the handle. We used to go out to the middle of the lake where the water was the deepest and lower the jug over the side of a boat. When it reached bottom we would give the string a sharp tug and thus pull out the cork. The bubbles coming to the surface showed us when the jug was full. We then hauled it on board and had clear, cold, drinking water from a lake that on the surface was warm enough for swimming.

One of the best accepted complaints about musicals is that the books are chiffon pretexts from which to adhere numbers. Wicked runs into the adverse problem: it has a abundant plot, but too generally the songs aloof get in the way. Based on Gregory Maguire's atypical of the aforementioned name, Wicked tells us what happened amid Glinda the Good and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, afore Dorothy showed up in Oz. And the appearance is advantageous to avowal a brace of ace arch women in the capital roles. As Glinda, Kristin Chenoweth delivers a amazing brilliant turn, announcement a crystal-pure articulation and aciculate banana timing; Idina Menzel lends her able pipes to the catchy role of Elphaba. Unfortunately, you ambition they had bigger actual to assignment with. Stephen Schwartz's pop account is generally abject bottomward by ever constructed orchestrations and affected lyrics (think Chicken Soup for the Witch). Still, at its best Wicked is a alluring allotment of accepted ball that could able-bodied accord a adolescent admirers a abiding aftertaste for agreeable theater.

I've never apparent a Broadway musical, but I adulation the CD's!! Especially this one--what can I say? The music is amazing, the singers are incredible...it is aloof the best agreeable affair to accept to. My admired affair to do is apprehend the artifice abridgment on Wiki, again accept to the accomplished CD and brainstorm the adventure in my mind. If you like Broadway, this is a great, abundant CD.

What an amazing score! If you saw the comedy - alike if it wasn't this "original" cast, you'll appetite this CD b/c it is wonderful!! I've been singing "Defying Gravity" in my arch all day - a must-have!!

Customer Reviews

Great Laptop!

I have had this computer since Feb 2006 and have had only one problem with it. My superdrive stopped working within my warranty period, but I had it replaced by apple promptly. Since then, I have had no issues with this computer. My display did not suffer from the horizontal line issues since I purchased a refurbished powerbook g4. In my mind, this is the best 15" Powerbook G4 to get, since it has DDR2 RAM which is now getting really cheap, and has the standard 128mb dual link video card. I have my system maxed out at 2GB of RAM with the 100gb 7200 rpm drive and it runs great. It has been a reliable workhorse computer that has gotten me through the last part of my college and now serves me at my job. I would recommend over some of the first generation core duo macbook pros since I have had very good reliability and it runs about 40 degrees F cooler during high load. I use my computer for photo editing, video editing, surfing the web, and creating webpages, and it has remained as fast as when I purchased it. The display backlighting is also as bright as when it was purchased, as well as the backlit keyboard. If you are in the market for a reliable computer, this one fits the bill.

Great, reliable machine

This is just the perfect size for someone who writes, travels and and uses the computer for research and shopping. I read some of the negative reviews here from people having problems with their powerbooks and I never feel compelled to write because I don't have any - problems that is, besides the bluetooth being a bit too competitive with the airport. The airport works fine (not great like with my plastic cased iMac, but very respectibly nonetheless), but it tends to kick the bluetooth out of the air. At least that's my somewhat uneducated opinion and experience. Other than that: great, flawless screen (thank God!, oops, sorry, Steve Jobs), wonderful keyboard, great working hard drive (fingers crossed now), and overall a superb piece of equipment.

Amazing machine!

Can't believe it took me so long to switch from Windows! A wonderful machine, that is a pleasure to use. Just one minor gripe - under-powered USB ports mean some external USB drives need a powered hub. There's no excuse for that. Other than that, by far the best laptop I have ever used, and great looking as well!

Repair

If you plan on buying this laptop, be aware that there have been issues with the memory slots on this model. Apple has issued a repair extension program to help owners deal with this. Unfortunately this program only applies to 1.5 GHz and 1.67 GHz machines. A number of people with 1 GHz and 1.25 GHz machines are having the same failure, but I am not aware of any help for these machines.

Bad Airport card

The airport card reception/transmission is blocked by the Aluminium case of the PowerBook. Apple even says so. Great computer. Just dont go online....
