It is a good idea in every mountain cabin to provide one metal lined
closet with floor space the size of a single bed mattress and high
enough to store your entire supply of mattresses and bedding, as well as
other things you do not wish to go into chipmunks’ and packrats’
warehouses. Tin or zinc is a satisfactory lining. One or two metal lined
food storage compartments should also be provided in the cabin kitchen.

easy to build. Four seasoned posts, some heavy plank, and a supply
of nails complete the bill of materials. The table is particularly
effective when rustic chairs are used with it.]
