ABSTRACT

Camping in tropical rain forest presents certain difficulties not met with in other places, though the abundance of building material and firewood go some way to offset the disadvantages of climate. These notes are intended as a guide to the methods which have been found in practice to be the simplest for Europeans to adopt when they have little or no assistance from natives. Whenever possible, however, it is very desirable to employ native assistants, and local camping methods, with which the assistants will be familiar, should then be employed.
