-- Dr. Klein, How about all of the above. I can't say for other guys in my troop, but I was raised that way. Call it a religion if you must. I prefer to bring my own for all the reasons people have stated. ----- Original Message ----- From: <SKIPFRANTZ@aol.com> > My son and I used the philmont tents and he's 6ft2inches and I'm 6ft and > there was ample room, you are in the tents for mostly sleeping , ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Skip, How about how wide are you. Not how tall are you. I seldom have an issue with how long the tent is. ----- Original Message ----- From: Johnlebl@aol.com >Do the rest of your crew a favor.

Share the load. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - And finally, Mr. LeBlanc, If the Philmont tents weighs 5 lbs. without ground tarp and my so called 7x7 "luxury tent" weighs 6 lbs. including ground tarp, should I still leave my familiar, clean, seam sealed, tried and true tent at home. I will then call my tent my luxury item that I bring along, since you all admitted bringing some type of luxury item that takes away from "crew gear weight". Currently my pack weighs in at 20 lbs. without tent, crew gear, or water. How much does yours. Dr. Klein wrote, "I admit this post has a chiding tone - but I don't apologize for it." Well I don't either. I just plan on having a great time.
