1 " Caves are cool in warm weather. Beware of bats, however. Bat urine will give you, as well as animals such as dogs, the rabies. Photograph supposedly shows an early man drawing on the walls of a cave. Such cave drawings are nearly all faked but are great tourist attractions. Cave drawings are invariably "discovered" in remote parts of a cave. If they were allegedly found in readily accessible areas of caves, they would be quickly declared to be fakes. "

2 " The bone dagger that is being held in the photograph was made from the leg of Governor Rockefeller's son who was killed and eaten in Indonesia. There are fortunes to be made in Indonesia buying crocodile skins but the climate is hot and humid and not at all desirable. "

4 " If Indians are in the area you settle in, you will have no trouble with them unless you get out of line. Indians are one of the easiest race types of all to get along with. Although solid of face they have a great sense of humor and enjoy real comedy immensely. A friend of mine near Gallup, New Mexico had a store that he called John's Teepee that sold Indian souvenirs and curios. He up a number of large roadside signs in Navajo territory. They read: GENUINE BEADED BELTS AND NAVAJO RUGS AT JOHN'S TEEPEE 1 MILE. The first night the signs were up the Indians painted the right side of the T in teepee in a half circle making the T into a P. In northern Arizona through the woodland areas the state put up road signs reading LOOK OUT FOR THE DEER. The Indians quickly painted a line half way through the D in deer making the D into a B. To me this kind of humor is really funny, a lot funnier than the form jokes written by television writers and memorized by so-called television "Adlib" comedians who are no funnier than their ability to memorize a script.

5 " Even everything on a rhino can be used by the man living in the bush. THe hide makes fine table tops, the legs - baskets, the hair on the tail - fine bracelets, the teeth - good carvings, and if you grind up the horn and eat it, you can have children even if you are ninety years old. The flesh is delicious, if aged properly. "

6 " Emergency tanning method is as follows. Dry deer and animal brains, then boil them in enough urine to form a thin cream-like solution. Soak the raw hides in the solution for 24 hours, then remove them and stretch and pull the hides continuously for at least a half hour over the rounded end of an eight inch or larger log. Pull and stretch the hides until they are dry or practically dry. This is the Ojibway method of tanning raw hides. "

7 " You can even hunt the Yeti or abominable snowman if you want to, in Nepal. Boris Lissanevitch or Tom Mendies of Nepal will arrange a Yeti hunt for you anytime that you want. Tom has never seen a Yeti track but Boris has seen several and will almost guarantee that you see a track and with any luck will see an abominable snowman. Actually they are more plentiful than generally believed. The main thing is to get up high enough in the mountains. This can be rugged and keeps most hunters from getting one. They are simply an ape-like animal with reddish-brown hair, facts that are well known in the mountains. "

9 " Soft washed river sand is still the best toy ever invented for children. It serves countless other purposes too. It cannot be beat for scouring dirty pots and pans and for cleaning wooden floors. Mixed with burnt powdered clam shells, you have the finest cement. Take a smooth slab of wood and cover it with tree or bush resin, sprinkle different colored river sand on the sticky resin to form colored pictures. River sand laid under animal traps prevent them from freezing down even in the coldest weather. River sand makes fine sidewalks and good insulation under buildings. "
