[Philmont] your thoughts

 
 
Bill,
 
Several of us ran into the same thing in Big Bend. Those surplus web belts
simply did not work for us either, so we resorted to carrying the cateens
inside our packs. Some of the military veterans are going to have a good laugh
about this, as many of them made long marches, and depended on the old web belt
on a daily basis. They had to use the equipment, and they will label me a
"wimp" for not using it.

After a few days on the trail, I belatedly realized that the hip strap on top
of the canteen belt on top of the newly purchased Philmont belt that was
holding up my blue jeans was cutting into the skin atop my hip bones. At that age,
when attempting something you know is going to be a strain, sometimes you
don't realize right away that it's not "supposed to" hurt.
