[philmont] Philmont Brand Size

Kirk,
  I just checked the brand size on my leather camp mocs, branded at Beaubian. 1 1/2 inch tall. An idea I got from the list made a pretty neat token for the guys. I found some leather, traced the Philmont arrowhead and cut one for each of the crew. Punched a hole in the top, stamped individual initials and crew # in the leather and then tied a cord loop. Guys used them as luggage tags and then branded them and used them as targets as the various black powder ranges on the trek. Cost - zip, neat souvenir.

    Hello, I noticed at our last shakedown that most of the guys have purchased boots with a mixture of leather/suede and mesh . The surface does not look like a good place for the traditional Ranch brands. Does anyone know the size of the brands they do at beaubian or the other western camps? I found a source for round leather discs that are 4" in diameter that I was thinking about taking for the guys to get branded, but I'm not sure they are big enough.
   
  Thanks, Kirk

  Thought to ponder: When did "No problem" become the response to "Thank you"?
