Re: [Philmont]: Cheap Gear

Out Troop has used a variety of Alps tents, backpacks, and sleeping
bags. Make no mistake, these are not high end products. They compare
to Wenzel, Coleman, etc. For the price, we have found them to be an
excellent buy. The quality is better than the other products at that
price point. Overall we have been very pleased with the products,
