[philmont] coffee

As Karen mentioned, there is the issue of hitting the trail early. You
generally will not be using stoves for breakfast. I believe there are only
two hot breakfasts of the ten. A common practice is to rise at first light,
break camp ASAP, then stop for breakfast on the trail. At that point you
won't want to unpack a stove, spend time making coffee and waiting for the
stove to cool off, plus repacking.

I enjoy a morning cup of tea. It certainly hits the spot, especially on a
nippy morning, but unless your crew chooses to eat breakfast in camp, or are
late risers, you likely won't have time for a hot drink.

When we ate our hot breakfasts we had coffee/tea. We used one hot breakfast
during ranger training and the second on our layover day at Cito. Since we
were scheduled for AM rock climbing we had plenty of time to enjoy a
leisurely breakfast. If you are hiking Baldy on your layover, this probably
isn't advised.

I brought my own assortment of individual tea bags, mostly decaf. Most
Advisors Coffee's provided individual packages of hot chocolate, cider, and
tea, in addition to the pots of coffee.
