RE: [Philmont]: Equiiment list?

From: Jimmie White
> I was reading the "Equipment Provided by Crew" list in the Guidebook to
adventure and found the "3 fiftyFt 1/8 nylon cord"
> What is this used for? Why would I need it?

Every once in a while I see a post that makes me go "Huh?" What is the 50
foot length of cord used for, one of those things in the ten essentials
list?
That, and the compass, are among the few items in the 10 essentials I use on
virtually every backpack (in 35 years, I still haven't used my space
blanket, thankfully, salt tablets aren't on the list anymore :-).
If nothing else, hang the bear bag. Or hang the laundry to dry. Or use a
piece of it to tie something on that came loose and shouldn't have. or...
Anyway, maybe I am missing something and this refers to something other than
the 50 length of cord for the 10 essentials...

Don Roberts
