[philmont] Crew rope

Please note that the Philmont fly set up (see sketch here: http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/philmont-philfly2.png ) requires a 40 foot (and 50' would be fine) and TWO twenty-five foot side sections. Virtually all the Philmont issued flys come with the side guys already attached. It is worth practicing this setup before heading to Cimarron. Practice in the wind and the rain if you can.

>Mine does – IF the dining fly you are issued does not already have cords attached, cutting one of the 50 lengths in half for the ridge line and the remaining 25 feet in half again for the two side lines will take care of it.  The two remaining 50 lengths can then be used “in a lot of areas” as Pete mentioned.
