[philmont] philtents

Not us.
Mountain HardWear PCT 2 (4 lbs 13 oz) and

  and
PCT 1's (3 lbs 12 oz) are what we use.

They are lighter in weight, no sting to deal with, 8 pegs, 2 poles and your
done, they train with what they will use.
No checkout problems, no check in problems.

We will have everything we need except the Micro Pure and YumYum bags net
summer.
I get older everyday, I still find old is 10 or 15 years older than me,
until I pick up my pack.

This will be their 3rd trip and not a second worth of a problems yet.

Your step may vary,
