remember right it was polypropylene or some other "plastic" tarp. He did mention several times it was just a 9X9 tarp. And he hunted a lot in a downpour and on several of his bear hunts he stayed soaked all the time.He hunted mostly Alaska and that usually meant he was hunting in rain or snow. I talked at length with his son when he came down here for the "Al Goerg Memorial Hunt" and he mentioned how his Dad really roughed it. But again back in the late 50s and early 60s if you wanted to hunt Big Horn Sheep, Mountain Goat, bull elk or any of the other big game species you pretty much had to rough it.
On his food he ate whatever he shot that day, whether Ptarmigan, Goat, Sheep, whatever and he used a lot of freeze dried puddings and such.
