SOME WISDOM FOR CAMPERS
The following knowledge is mostly taken from an old book "Camping
for boys" by H. W. Gibson from 1913. Many of the advices in this book are still
valid today, even though some of it is outdated. The whole book can be uploaded
free from www.gutenberg.org
You will also find an article about methods for pain relief used by Chinese martial arts. Also this infromation can be useful during camping.

To find the points of compass without a compass
When going to a camping trip, you should allways have with you a
compass, but ocationally you may forget it, or something is disturbing the
compass. Here is a method you can use in those cases.
Face the sun in the morning, spread out your arms straight from body. Before you is the east; behind you is the west; to your right hand is the south; to the left hand is the north.
Have six sticks in your hand. Plant the first stick in the ground before you. Then plant the other four sticks around the first sticks in the compass directions found. Then plant the sixth stick just before the north stick to mark that this is north. Then you have constructed a compass you can refer to the rest of your camping.
Forecating the weather
Clouds
Every cloud is a weather sign.
Low clouds swiftly moving indicate coolness and rain.
Soft clouds, moderate winds, fine weather.
Hard-edged clouds, wind.
Rolled or ragged clouds, strong wind.
"Mackerel" sky, twelve hours dry.
Rain
Look out for rain when
The tree frog cries.
Fish swim near the surface.
Walls are unusually damp.
Flies are troublesome and sting sharply.
A slack rope tightens.
Smoke beats downward.
Sun is red in the morning.
There is a pale yellow sunset.
Rain with East wind is lengthy.
A sudden shower is soon over.
A slow rain lasts long.
Rain before seven, clear before eleven.
Sun drawing water, sure sign of rain.
A circle round the moon means "storm."
"When the grass is dry at night
Look for rain before the light;
When the grass is dry at morning light
Look for rain before the night."
"When the dew is on the grass
Rain will never come to pass."
Fog in the morning, bright sunny day.
Swallow flying high means clearing weather.
If the sun goes down cloudy Friday, sure of a clear Sunday.
Busy spiders mean fine weather.
THE WINDS
East wind
brings rain.
West wind brings clear, bright, cool weather.
North wind brings cold.
South wind brings heat.
Birds fly high when the barometer is high, and low when the barometer is low.
How to find the direction of Wind
The way to find which way the wind is blowing, if there is only very light
breeze, is to throw up little bits of dry grass; or to hold up a handful of
light dust and let it fall, or to suck your thumb and wet it all round and let
the wind blow over it, and the cold side of it will then tell you which way the
wind is blowing.
Making a campfire
To Build a Fire
There are ways and ways of building camp fires. An old Indian saying runs,
"White man heap fool, make um big fire--can't git near! Injun make um little
fire--git close! Uh! good!" Make it a service privilege for a tent of boys to
gather wood and build the fire. This should be done during the afternoon. Two
things are essential in the building of a fire--kindling and air. A fire must be
built systematically. First, get dry, small dead branches, twigs, fir branches
and other inflammable material. Place these upon the ground. Be sure that air
can draw under the pile and up through it. Next place some heavier branches in
tripod form over the kindling, then good-sized sticks, and so on until you have
built the camp fire the required size. In many camps it is considered an honor
to light the fire.
Kerosene oil may be poured upon the kindling, or old newspapers used in lighting
the fire.
Building the fire for cooking - to cook on hikes
Take two or three stones to build a fireplace; a stick first shaved and then whittled into shavings; a lighted match, a little blaze, some bark, dry twigs and a few small sticks added; then with the griddle placed over the fire, you are ready to cook the most appetizing griddle cakes. After the cakes are cooked, fry strips of bacon upon the griddle; in the surplus fat fry slices of bread, then some thinly sliced raw potatoes done to a delicious brown and you have a breakfast capable of making the mouth of a camper water.
Another way of building a fire: Place two green logs side by side, closer
together at one end than the other. Build fire between. On the logs over the
fire you can rest frying pan, kettle, etc. To start fire have some light, dry
wood split up fine. When sticks begin to blaze add a few more of larger size and
continue until you have a good fire.
Sun Glass
When the sun shines a fire may be started by means of a small
pocket sun or magnifying glass. Fine scrapings from dry wood or "punk tinder"
will easily ignite by the focusing of the sun dial upon it, and by fanning the
fire and by adding additional fuel, the fire-builder will soon have a great
blaze.
Caution
An interesting account of "How to Build a Fire by Rubbing Sticks,"
by Ernest Thompson-Seton, will be found in "Boy Scouts of America," page 84.
Be sure to use every precaution to prevent the spreading of fire. This may be
done by building a circle of stone around the fire, or by digging up the earth,
or by wetting a space around the fire. Always have buckets of water near at
hand.
Things to remember
First, It is
criminal to leave a burning fire;
Second, Always put out the fire with water or earth.
State Laws
Be sure to get a copy of the law of your State regarding Forest
Fires, and if a permit is necessary, secure it before building a fire.
To Light a Match
Kephart, in his book on "Camping and
Woodcraft" (page 88), says, "When there is nothing dry to strike it on, jerk the
head of the match forward through the teeth. Face the wind. Cup your hands,
backs toward wind. Remove right hand just long enough to strike match on
something very close by, then instantly resume former position. Flame of match
will run up the stick instead of blowing away from it."
Story-Telling
The camp fire is a golden opportunity for the telling of
stories--good stories told well. Indian legends, war stories, ghost stories,
detective stories, stories of heroism, the history of fire, a talk about the
stars. Don't drag out the telling of a story. Talk it in boy language. Avoid
technical terms. Make the story live.
College songs always appeal to boys. Let some leader start up a song in a
natural way, and soon you will have a chorus of unexpected melody and harmony.
As the fire dies down, let the songs be of a more quiet type, like "My Old
Kentucky Home," and ballads of similar nature.
Roast
Delight
When the embers are glowing is the time for toasting marshmallows.
Get a long stick sharpened to a point, fasten a marshmallow on the end, hold it
over the embers, not in the blaze, until the marshmallow expands. Oh, the
deliciousness of it! Ever tasted one? Before roasting corn on the cob, tie the
end of each husk firmly with string. Soak in water for about an hour. Then put
into the hot embers. The water prevents the corn from burning and the firmly
tied husks enable the corn to be steamed and the real corn flavor is retained.
In about twenty minutes the corn may be taken from the fire and eaten. Have a
bowl of melted butter and salt on hand. Also a pastry brush to spread the melted
butter upon the corn. Try it.
Cooking resceipts for campers
Griddle Cakes
Beat together
one egg, tablespoonful of sugar, cup of new milk, or condensed milk diluted
one-half. Mix in enough self-raising flour to make a thick cream batter. Grease
the griddle with rind or slices of bacon for each batch of cakes.
Broiled Bacon
Slice bacon thin. Remove the rind which makes the slices curl up. Or, gash the
rind with a sharp knife if the boys like "cracklings." Fry on griddle or put on
the sharp end of a stick and hold over the hot coals, or, better yet, remove the
griddle and put a clean flat rock in its place. When the rock is hot lay the
slices of bacon on it and broil. Keep turning the bacon so as to brown it on
both sides. Cut into dice.
Creamed Salmon
Heat about a pint of salmon in one-half pint milk, season with
salt and pepper and a half teaspoonful of butter.
Salmon on Toast
Drop slices of stale bread into smoking-hot lard. They will brown
at once. Drain them. Heat a pint of salmon, picked into flakes, season with salt
and pepper and put into it a tablespoonful of butter. Stir in one egg, beaten
light, with three tablespoonfuls evaporated milk not thinned. Pour mixture on
the fried bread.
Potatoes
Wash potatoes and dry well; bury them deep in a good bed of live
coals, cover them with hot coals until well done. They will take about forty
minutes to bake. When you can pass a sharpened hardwood sliver through them,
they are done, and should be raked out at once. Run the sliver through them from
end to end, and let the steam escape and use immediately, as a roast potato
quickly becomes soggy and bitter.
Baked Fish
Dig a hole one foot and a half deep. Build a fire in it, heaping
up dry sticks until there is an abundance of fuel. After an hour, take out the
coals, clear the hole of ashes, lay green corn husks on the hot bottom of the
hole. Soak brown paper in water and wrap around the fish. Lay it in the hole,
cover with green corn husks, covered in turn with half an inch of earth. Build a
fire over it and keep burning for an hour. Then remove and you have something
delicious and worth the time taken to prepare.
Fried Fish
Clean fish well. Small fish should be fried whole, with the
backbone severed to prevent curling up; large fish should be cut into pieces,
and ribs cut loose from backbone so as to lie flat in pan.
Rub the pieces in corn meal or powdered bread crumbs, thinly and evenly (that
browns them). Fry in plenty of very hot fat to a golden brown, sprinkling
lightly with pepper and salt just as the color turns. If fish has not been wiped
dry, it will absorb too much grease. If the frying fat is not very hot when fish
are put in they will be soggy with it.
Boiled Eggs
Raise water to boiling point. Place eggs in carefully. Boil
steadily for three minutes if you prefer them soft. If you want them hard-boiled,
put them in cold water, bring to a boil, and keep it up for 10 minutes to twenty minutes.
If you keep the eggs long in the heat, the
yolk will then be mealy and wholesome.
Fried eggs
Melt some butter or fat in frying pan, when it hisses drop in
eggs carefully. Fry them three minutes. Olive oil is however a more
healthy fat type than butter or margarine. When using olive oil, you should not
use as strong heat as when using margarine or butter.
Scrambled eggs
First stir the eggs up with a little condensed cream and a pinch
of salt and after putting some butter in the frying pan, stir the eggs in it,
being careful not to cook them too long.
Poached
First put in the frying pan sufficient diluted condensed milk
which has been thinned with enough water to float the eggs when the milk is hot;
drop in the carefully opened eggs and let them simmer three or four minutes.
Serve the eggs on slices of buttered toast, pouring on enough of the milk to
moisten the toast.
Coffee
For every cup of water allow a tablespoonful of ground coffee,
and one extra for the pot. Heat water to boiling point first, add coffee, boil
five minutes, settle with one-fourth cup cold water and serve. Some prefer to
put the coffee in a small muslin bag, tied loose, and boil for five minutes
longer.
Cocoa
Allow a teaspoonful of cocoa for every cup of boiling water. Mix
the powdered cocoa with hot water or hot milk to a creamy paste. Add equal parts
of boiling water and boiled milk, and sugar to taste. Boil two or three minutes.
Chinese Martial Arts and Pain Relief
By
Ken Cheong
Most of us are acquainted with martial arts based on what we see on TV and the movies; Jacky Chan, Steven Segal, Jet Li, Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee etc.
Some of the most popular martial arts in practize today include Judo, Tek Kwan Do, Karate, which have made it to the Olympic Games, Akido, Tai Chi and Qigong, which are not in the Olympic Games as yet. Although some of these martial arts come from Korea and Japan, the roots of most martial arts can be traced to China.
It is believed that all martial arts can be traced to the Shaolin Temple and the Wudang Hills in China. In reality, there must be hundreds of different types of martial arts practized in China, including the more popular BaQuaQuan, TangLangQuan, TaiChi, HouQuan, etc.
Training injuries, bruises and cuts are common during practizes and sparring sessions in martial arts schools. In fact, injuries are so common that most martial arts teachers also double up as doctors in treating aches and pains that come from sporting and training injuries.
The common ways to treat pain and ache in martial arts schools include:
Accupuncture
Accupuncture needles are inserted at the right accupoints or meridians in various part of the human body to relieve pain and tension of the muscle. A trained accupunture practioner is required to carry out such treatment.
Tui Na
A form of Chinese accupressure massage where muscles aches and pain are relieved through massaging the right accupoints and meridians. This may sometimes be used in conjunction with heat pads.
Herbal Plasters
Almost every martial arts school has their own secret formula for a herbal plaster. These plasters are mostly herbal conconction and used to treat pain, bruises and aches caused by training and actual fights. These herbal plasters are very effective and bruises and pain tend to disappear very fast once the plasters are applied to the injured area.
Herbal Ointments
Used mostly in conjunction with TuiNa or massage, these ointments are also herbal liquid formulas handed down from generation after generation. They are extremely popular and almost every martial arts school will have their 'own brand' of herbal ointment.
Today, accupuncture and TuiNa has made it to mainstream sports schools and even hospitals in China and also gaining much prominence and popularity in sports schools and hospitals in Asia and the Western countries.
In fact, accupuncture is used for many forms of treatments including backaches, kicking cigarette habits, menopause pain, migrane etc
TuiNa has also made it into mainstream life as a form of relaxation massage in addition to it's use for treating pain and ache.
Many martial arts schools has also tied up with pharmaceutical companies to produce modern versions of their herbal plasters and ointments in hygienic, scientific and environmentally controlled factories. These herbal plasters and ointments are produced in large quantities and has made their way into most Asian homes and families. Most families will have these plasters and ointments in their cabinets to treat pain ranging from arthritis, shoulder and neck aches, back pain, ankle pain etc.
Some of these brands are now household brands in Asian societies. They are also slowly making their way into Western countries.
