Re: [Philmont]: Inedible Trail Food???

>I really agree with Jim about staring 72 philfood bags in the face.

Ah, this is where meal stripping comes in. Since we had trained using Philmont food we knew which foods would be eaten and how much. So at every food pickup we stripped out the extra food and gave it back. We probably reduced the load and volume by 20% at each pickup.
