Re: [Philmont]: 1 Person Tents

MAKE all concerned bring 2 person tents.....................It will leave
more room for food and cut down the weight. By DAY 6 everyone will want to
unload stuff they wish they had left back at BASE camp. Making the scouts
stay in 2 person tents also lends to the "crew" mentality.......

I HAD to bring my own tent, as the only female on the trek. I wish I'd had
someone to share it with. .............................Mountain Hardware has
a GOOD 1 person tent...........and I've looked at them all.
