Re: [Philmont]: # of tents in a crew

You can put as many people in a tent as you like, so long as you don't
violate YPT guidelines. I have seen Crews use up to 2 six-man dome
tents. Biggest issue on those is finding an adequate foorprint to
handle the size - not so easy at some tight trail camps. Your plans
detailed below are perfectly acceptable.
