by Ernest Thompson SetonDo one of the following for coup; two for grand coup. (a) Make solid "four-posters" for a willow bed and make a stout bench from split logs, with driven legs (no nails). (b) Build a useful foot bridge by felling a tree whose logs shall span a stream or chasm at least 25 feet between the two natural abutments on which the log rests. ( Note: The stump may form one abutment, provided the foot bridge may be made readily accessible by means of a dirt fill, stone approach or gangplank of natural material.) ( c) From a log hew a plank ( not a slab) not more than 3 inches thick in any part, and not less than 10 feet long. (d) Split from a log, ready for use, 200 shingles. The use of a saw and plane not permitted for either this or the preceding. An auger may be used. For Further Information, See: The Birch Bark Roll |
