Re: [Philmont]: stripping meals

That, and removing extraneous packaging that makes for additional trash/bulk. Some crews thing they are over provisioned (with my boys I don't see how that's possible). We had a parallel crew that had three vegetarians on their crew and had brought provisions with them. They kept leaving serious food in the swap boxes and we kept picking them up :-)
