[Philmont] philmont red roof inns/pilot to bombadier locations

Let me get this straight. You are going to tromp through the wilderness
with a crew of boys, eat food cooked over dirt, drink water you
filter/purify and eat a diet that virtually no one eats on a regular basis,
and not bring a small, 5 OZ trowel just in case?

Alrighty then. Were I you, I would carry the trowel and a roll of toilet
paper rather than an extra pair of undies and pants/shorts.

Ya know, sometimes the whole weight issue takes the path of throwing out
exactly what a scout needs to "Be Prepared".

Take the trowel and TP.
