Re: [Philmont]: Re: Trek 26

Good pick, get each of your people a piece of leather to shoot, (be sure to tell each camp director you want to shoot your leather, they may just put them together and shoot them once or let you shoot at your own) chop on, brand and draw on for a souvenir. Have them punch a whole in the top of the point of the arrowhead. Than tie a piece of leather shoe lace or string to it. Then have them hang it on the outside of their pack. This will make it easier to find when you get some where to use it and they will not have to "dig" in their pack to find it. Hobby Lobby has a small arrowhead you could use. It is sorta small to shoot and brand. They have a larger piece, get each of them to buy their own and then cut it out. Look in your area for a hide tanning place. Tell them who you are, what you are going to use it for and they may give you some of their scrap parts and then you can cut them out like the arrowhead for you and your kids. I did this for my 02, 03 & 05 crew. I'm looking for a shop now, the one who gave me the scraps in 01 has gone out of business now.
Eat your supper for lunch the day you climb Phillips. You will get strung out climbing Phillips. Same for the trip to Tooth Ridge. Have 2 or 3 quarts of water for the start of the trip into base camp from Tooth Ridge camp. You do not want to run out of water on the way in. Been there got the hat!
