As a further preliminary step to lumbering itself, the _tote road_ and _camp_ are built.

The tote road is a rough road on which supplies for crew and cattle can be taken to camp from civilization.

Lumber for the floors and roofs of the shanties and for the rude pieces of furniture that will be needed, tarred paper to make the roofs tight, a few glazed window sashes, a huge range and a number of box stoves, dishes and kitchen utensils, a little stock of goods for the van, blankets by the dozen and score, and countless boxes and barrels and bags of provisions.[1] [Footnote 1: Hulbert: The Lumber Jack; Outlook, 76: 801, April 2, '04.] The _camp_ itself, Fig.
