Philmont Packing List

Cost:  $15

Plan:   We will begin the night with a backpack hike, potentially cooking dinner along the hike and the return to a campsite to setup up camp for the night.  In the morning, we will have breakfast, tear down our campsite and head out for one last hike with backpacks on.

Goals:  The goals of this campout are to give you a chance to try out your gear, learn how to setup our tents, use our stoves, etc...  It is very important that you become very comfortable with your gear and the crew gear and understand how everything works.  You will also need to become very efficient in setting up and tearing down camp.   This is a chance to tryout your clothes, especially your socks/shoes combo.
