Making a Backpack

To make a pack
MAKING A PACK to ship as baggage, fold the blankets lengthwise (Fig. 264),
place them in the middle of your tarpaulin or floor cloth (Fig. 2.54) ; fold the cover over (Fig. 256), then tuck in the ends and roll the package into a bundle and cinch (Figs. 266 and 256).
A SLEEPING-BAG can be improvised from one’s blankets by the use of safety
pins (Fig. 257). A section of the bag (Fig. 268) shows how the blankets are doubled.
To make a BACK PACK fold as in Fig. 259, then bend up the end as indicated by Figs. 260 and 261, fold again, Fig. 262, then fold in the two edges, Figs. 268 and 264, which show both sides of pack; bend over the top, Figs. 265 and 266, and strap ready to carry, Figs. 267 and 268.
For a BLANKET Roll fold as in Fig. 269; bend in the ends and roll (fig. 270).
Strap or lash the ends together (Fig. 271).
