Addendum:

Camp (1) My Abode

At my 1st ever OVPR I had a 7x7x5 wedge, a candle lantern, a pint copper cook pot, a tin cup, a French trade knife, a twisted wire fork, a wooden spoon, a tomahawk, one set of clothes, a Hudson’s Bay blanket I’d inherited from my mother, a tin canteen, a small pillow, a bed sack filled with straw, a camp stool, 2 water buckets, a small wooden handled shovel, and a small wooden box of food.  My lodge is larger now, I’ve got a change or two of clothes, my kitchen is nicely appointed & my sleeping accommodations are more comfortable.  There’s plenty of seating for friends, so come & set a spell sometime.
