[philmont] Suggest a tent

Been using Alps Taurus 2-AL tents with scouts for years, including at least four Philmont treks. Tents in Washington get lots of weather, too: snow, sleet, hail, rain, wind, and sometimes all that at the same time. Never had a broken pole, never had a failure. We have seen some minor leaking with new tents that weren't seam-sealed yet, but that's why REI sells those little tubes. I recommend the Taurus 2-AL without reservation for any 3-season use (and we winter camp with them, too, but not on Rainier).
