Experienced anglers, hikers, birders, photographers and the like have by now mapped out this year's destinations. Many are turning to campgrounds as convenient overnight stops as well as for extended stays. If you are trying camping for the first time, here are a few hints to make your outing as trouble free as possible. Have each group member make out a list of gear he or she wishes to take, then carefully weed out un- necessary items. Encourage them to take only enough shampoo or after shave for the trip. A first aid kit is a must for all and should include items suggested by the St. John Ambulance First Aid tex- tbook plus personal medica- tion. A few basic tools such as an axe, slip joint pliers, hammer, screwdrivers, twine and some electrician's tape may make the 'dif- ference between a quick fixit job and frustration. Don't forget spare flashlight bat- teries and mantles if you take a lantern. For a weekend, repackage staples such as sugar, hot chocolate powder, flour, cof- fee and oatmeal. Washed cottage cheese containers are ideal as they stack well. Small amounts of herbs can be carried in washed pill containers. Whether your shelter is a tent or a recreation vehicle, a general purpose list should include pots and pans, kit- chen utensils, a sturdy can opener and aluminum foil. A new lightweight yet stronger foil is a practical item for all campers, in- cluding backpackers and canoe campers. The tensile strength is such that reusing pieces several times is prao- tical. Veteran family campers know the value of aluminum foil and use it to wrap am, eat loaf or carrot cake to 'take with them for the first meal. For barbecue or campfire meals with a difference, try wrapping in foil individual meals. Pork chop, carrot, onion • and potato will take at least 45 minutes on good coals. Slices of ham, pineapple and canned sweet potatoes will be ready in half the time as all ingredients are already cooked. Remember to wrap foil so that the shiny side is inside and does not reflect heat away from food. Water skiing tricks take off Water skiing has become so popular that many people think skiers are the only things powerboats can tow. If the present trend to "Hot Dogging" or "Freestyling" catches on with water skiers as it has with snow skiers, you're going to be seeing some exciting displays on your favourite waterway this summer. Here are the three primary hot-dog tricks, with variations on each one as indicated by the Allied Boating Association of Canada: "The "worm -turn", sometimes called "the tumble", looks like a big bad spill, but the skier effects a near -miraculous recovery and comes d back up on his skis. The trick, say the skiers, is to roll over on the water with your shoulders, keeping your skis high and dry. The "Daffy" and "Double Daffy" make use of the boat wake or a ski jump. The skier flies off the wake or the jump and extends one leg completely straight in front of him. That's the "Daffy". With the "Double Daffy", the skier does a amid -air split, then recovers just in time to make a graceful landing. The "Wake Flip" is perhaps the most dramatic hot-dog trick of them all. It can be either a front or a backwards flip, and it can be done off a ski jump or the boat wake. But for those not quite so adventuresome, there are other alternatives to water skiing that can be just as much fun. Try aquaplaning. Take a board about two feet wide and six feet long. Fit it with a rope towing bridle and a comfortable hand rope. Now you have an aquaplane. It's somewhat easier for beginners to master than a pair of skis and can thus help encourage newcomers to to the point where they will feel able to try water skis. Another device that can give a lot of funis the "flying saucer". Simply a round piece of thick plywood about three feet in diameter, it's sort of a cross between an aquaplane and skis. As it can be turned around -and - around in the water as you speed along on it, some amusing capers can be cut. If you look around in marine stores and catalogues, you will probably come up with two or three things that will make your boat produce even more fun for everyone in your group, regardless of age or physical dexterity.
