[Philmont]: three quick questions

FROM OUR RECENT PHIL-TREK....

MOST OF OUR CREW USED WATER SHOES, THEY ARE LIGHT WEIGHT AND COMFORTABLE. WE GOT THEM AT WAL-MART FOR ABOUT 6.98 PLUS TAX.

TYVEK GROUND CLOTHES....WE USED TYVEK UNDER ALL OF OUR TENTS. WE WASHED THEM (TWICE) IN JUST WATER. NO SOAP AND IT MADE THEM SOFT AS A BABY DIAPER. THEY WORKED GREAT!

AS FOR THE FIRST AID KIT.... WE HAD A FULLY STOCKED KIT. AS BEST AS I CAN RECALL WE ONLY HAD TWO PEOPLE USE THE MOLE SKIN THE LAST 3-4 DAYS OF THE TREK AND A COUPLE OF ANTIHISTAMINE TABS FOR PROBABLY AN ALLERGY TO POLLEN. I DO BELIEVE THAT WE HAD ONE ADVISOR USE SOME OINTMENT FOR THE CHAFF BUT I BELIEVE HE HAD PACKED THAT IN HIS PERSONAL FIRST AID KIT. THAT WAS ABOUT THE ONLY TIME WE EVEN HAD TO GET THE F/A KIT OUT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A COUPLE OF BAND-AIDS.

THE TREK WAS GREAT, IT WAS OUR FIRST (EXCEPT FOR 2 SCOUTS) THE KIDS HAD A BLAST AND SO DID THE ADVISORS!
