[philmont] Reinventing The Wheel

  Here we go again, reinventing the wheel.
   
  If you want to go spend your time in a big base camp, why not attend a Jamboree instead of Philmont?
   
  Those or Crocs should keep the home fires burning. Meaning that they will be responsible for many Scouts taken off the trail to spend the rest of their trek or what's left of it near the home fires. That is base camp. That's where the unhikable Scouts spend the remainder of their time at Philmont lounging around in hot wall tents while their crew without foot injuries enjoys the cool back country.
   
  The medical department will just love these things. Or is it hate?
   
  Get my point?

  Gathered the mail today. The Outdoor Gear Guide was in! Christmas in May!
   
  I have been one of the biggest proponents of Crocs on the list. I believe they are the (almost) perfect camp shoe – ultra light, ultra comfortable, waterproof, and hike-able.
   
  Then I opened the gear guide. Take a look at the new Merrell Vapor (pg 22). It looks like Merrell took a Croc and put a Vibram sole on it. WOW! Link - http://www.merrell.com/Shop/Detail.aspx?NavID=FT-O-AQS&PID=12016
   
  Weight is 20oz per pair, so you are giving a lot back, but this thing would silence the hike-able critics. Think I’m going to have to order a pair just to see…
   
  Now if I could just talk the wife into new Marmot rain gear…
