RE: [Philmont]: The little things

I could not open their web page, so I called their toll free number and the
lady was very nice and she is sending me everything I need! Very nice to
deal with! First time I heard of them, but any thing to help the trail food!
Thanks for telling me about this! YiS; Jerry D Bailey

AMEN on the TONY'S !!! We too had Andrew from Baton Rouge and ever since we
don't leave without Tony's. I have found it in Wegman's here in the
Northeast.

1.) This board is a wealth of reminders about the little things. I advised
a crew in 2002 and have two crews for 2005. I completely forgot about
"compacting" trash. I remember the cereal boxes were great for this
purpose. I saw a crew using duct tape on their trash. They carried two full
rolls just for compacting trash. I thought it a bit extreme to carry that
much extra "smellable." If anyone can give me reasonable logic for uber
compacting trash with duct tape I am more that happy to mend my compacting
technique.

2.) Don't forget your shaker of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. (
www.tonychachare.com <http://www.tonychachare.com> ) An 8 oz shaker should
be enough for a crew for an entire trek. I personally know a ranger from my
home town of Baton Rouge that issues a shaker to each of his crews while
cooking dinner the first day on the trail. But don't take a chance on
getting Andy for your ranger, bring your own. If you're about to leave for
your 2004 trek you may be in luck. There's a 800 number on the shaker I'm
using to ensure I spell Chachare correctly, its 800-551-9066. An added
bonus of calling is you'll get to hear the correct pronunciation of Chachere
when they answer the phone! I promise I am not related to, or work for Mr.
Chachare. But take my word for it, bring along a little Tonys and you won't
be sorry.
