Has anyone been to Philmont in the first part of June. My Crew has an early
trek date and I am concerned with the potential cool temperature, especially
at the higher elevations like Mt.Phillips. I am also curious about the rain,
does it rain more or less than when the summer moonsoons are.
Thanks,
Paul Yates

Subject: [Philmont]: Backpacks - Hipbelts
> Thought I'd chime in on the question of packs for smaller folks...

> You have a few options:
> 1. Buy a pack that fits pretty well and replace the hipbelt with a
smaller
> after-market one - only really works with external frames.
> 2. Buy one of the better name-brand packs (Gregory, Dana, etc.) that have
> belts in S, M, L and get the right size belt put on your pack (e.g. S belt
> on M pack) - this is pretty expensive, and the pack may not fit when your
> son grows.
> 3. Try Alps Mountaineering (www.alpsmountaineering.com). Their internal
> frame packs have interchangeable belts and the smalls usually fit younger
> scouts. I have no financial interest in this company. I've field tested
> some of their gear and was impressed enough that I bought one of their
> tents for my son. They're very supportive of the Scouts - and even offer
> discounted pricing through their Scout Discount program
(www.ScoutDirect.com).
