John LeBlanc writes: Nobody sleeps alone in a tent. This last point to me is significant. It does not matter what PhilPolicy is, but logic can be deduced this way. All research and advise on black bear problems advises that IF a black bear were to "attack" for lack of a better word, one is advised to fight like hell. Great policy, but does not always match G2SS. We will have one female leader. We will also have one 20 year old ASM. Both will require their own tent. Between G2SS and Philmont rules for tents for females, we have no choice.
