RE: [Philmont]: Food Packaging

The food packages I recently purchased from Philmont are in two-person
packets. Everything I've read from last year indicates that is how
Philmont is packaging food now. It is easier than trying to maintain
two-person and four-person meal packets like they did in the past. I
would imagine that you will probably get packets that are very similar
next summer during your trek. For a crew of 11 you would probably be
issued 6 packets for each meal. If this is consistently too much food,
at your commissary stops you could ask them to just issue 5 packets.
Based on prior experience, unless your crew is very unusual or has very
picky eaters, I would be surprised if you have much wasted food for most
meals.

The numbers (Dinner #3) corresponds to the last digit of the date (June
23) so that you don't get the same thing more than once, but the order
you eat it is entirely up to the crew.

Hope this helps

Happy Trails

PS It's a pretty good size stack of food for two people for two days
isn't it?
