[philmont] what's in my pack for what it's worth

 
> RE: Laundry. Keep in mind that Philmont is not big on the idea of
clotheslines tied from tree to tree in the camps, both for the potential
damage to the trees and the
> danger to passersby. You have to figure out some other way to expose the
clothes to the passing breezes. I'm sure others have their favorite methods.
 
Yeah, lines on trees are not allowed. If you have a lot of treking poles in
the crew. Just take a long length of parachute cord. Stake one end in the
ground, run it up and over the top of a trek pole, then over to another one
and stake it back down to the ground. For a long line, just add a pole at 6
foot intervals with some diagonals to stabilize the line. Works like a
charm, and it's only 3 feet high, so if you walk into it, you won't damage
anything important.
Happy Hiking,
Tom
