[philmont] Bear Ropes

Go to your local feed store or mill and ask for feed sacks. They should have several sizes to choice from. They will be new and what you need if you want to take your own.

The 2006 Guidebook to adventure says that Philmont furnishes 150-foot length of 1/4 inch nylon rope that weighs about 2 1/2 pounds.

 

I remember getting 3 separate bear bag ropes in 2004. They were 80 or 100 feet long with a loop knot in the middle.

 

What is the collective memory on

a. Number of bear bag ropes issued

b. Length of each rope

c. Etc.
