I leave for Philmont this Thursday (at last!) and I have a question for the
returning crews. I've been reading
that the menus are greatly changed this year so were there any changes in
the cooking instructions for the dinners? Are turkey bags still useful if
you want to minimize clean-up? (No, I'm not trying to re-start "that"
thread but I am really a proponent of minimal clean-up meals.)
It's my understanding that the dinners are primarily Richmoor or
Backpacker's pantry freeze-dried food. Our troop normally rehydrates these
meals in the packaging in which they came with no additional cooking. Does
this year's packaging permit that sort of usage? Does the altitude require
that the food be cooked even after boiling water has been added?
Thanks,
Sam McNamee
