There is circular machine-embroidered patch sewn on the front; it is beige canvas, green-rimmed, three individual orange lines forming an almost circle, at the bottom with the words ‘MOUNTAIN GUIDE”, white on a black background. Overlapping everything is black ski crossed by a black ice pick, and over that, a stylized green maple leaf with the letters “ACMG” in white.

A portable, collapsible, roll-up canvas camp cot; it folds in half at the centre, has three sets of ‘crossed legs’ (six wooden legs), metal pieces that keep it all together and a piece of canvas that stretches taut when the legs are splayed. There are two extra pieces of wood to make the bed longer by extending the two pieces of hanging canvas at both ends. The bed can be dismantled, rolled up, and tied with the two pieces of heavy cotton twill strips. Printed on the obverse side of the canvas (so when the bed is put together, it is on the underside of the canvas) at either end is a (Ken Jones’s monogram) “K” with a “J” leading off the top of the “K” so it is higher than the K, in black indelible ink.

There is a silver maple leaf (signifying that it stands for Member of the Order of Canada) soldered onto the centre of the snowflake.

The circle is topped by a crown (white, red, and turquoise) enamel simulating jewels edged in silver) of St. Edward, symbolizing that the order is headed by a sovereign. At the top of the snowflake badge there is a silver metal suspension ring. A grosgrain ribbon, white, bordered in red stripes similar to the Canadian flag, is passed through the ring and attached to a silver pin bar. The reverse side is plain silver except for the word “CANADA” and “1181” underneath, printed on the centre disc. Directly below on one of the snowflake points are some numbers and underneath that the word “RIDEAU”. On the top reverse side of the pin bar there is a horizontal hinged pin with a swivel-locking safety catch, underneath which “RIDEAU” is printed. The pin bar has an opening for the ribbon to pass through and two holes at the bottom where the ribbon is sewn to the pin bar with red thread.(a,b) The two small lapel pins (1cm high,1cm wide) are white enamel stylized snowflakes edged in silver with a silver maple leaf in the centre.
