RE: [Philmont]: Why so many tent pegs?

You'd need that many only if you're using their tents. You'll need a minimum
of eight (in my opinion) for the dining fly if you use it. Otherwise bring
what you need for your own equipment.

Subject: [Philmont]: Why so many tent pegs?

We leave in 11 days so I am down to details. Crews are advised in the
guidebook to bring 10 tent pegs per person plus enough for the dining fly.
This works out to 20 pegs per tent plus the ones for the dining fly. Why so
many? Does the altitude cause people to misplace tent pegs? The guidebook
uses a minimalist approach on all other items. I tend to trust the
guidebook but 10 per person seems like a lot.
