[philmont] Cooking at Philmont

Good evening.

I have gradually been getting my Philmont things organized, and I want to share our cooking experience from last summer.

During our shake down trips, we practiced cooking with the turkey bag method, and cleaning personal plates by self sumping, or “swig it don’t dig it” as one crew member called it. We became proficient and brought plenty of turkey bags to Philmont. However, I insisted that we follow the Ranger-taught method while Joe, our Ranger, was with us.

The result: the guys voted to use a modified approach for the remainder of the trek. Actually, they came to a consensus. They used the Ranger-taught method for cooking and cleaning, except we self sumped our individual plates. For most meals, it worked fine.
