Re: [Philmont]: Tents

We will be going for the first time and have decided to use Philtents.
After we pitch the tents for the first time, I cannot imagine set up being
much of an issue. Our only concern is the lack of a vestibule. Do most
bring their shoes inside the tent or leave them covered or in a plastic bag
outside?
