Re: [Philmont]: cold weather gear

> Suggest to your crew that they can leave their fleece in your
Basecamp locker if they decide they don't need it but to take it at
least that far.

Our ranger suggested that fleeces were not necessary and one member of
our crew decided to accept the suggestion. That person ended up having
to borrow my son's fleece to stop the shivering on day 2 and several
other days.

I also remember one particularly nasty storm at Wild Horse in 2002.
Rain/lightning and then the hail. Got wet, then the temperature dropped
precipitously. Prompted a search mission when we hiked through Wild
Horse this trip. Never found it but I'm sure I froze my fanny off there
in 2002. :-)

Take the fleece and the rain jacket and enough clothes to layer. Those
warm clothes don't help a bit if they're in the locker at base camp.
