[Philmont] Freeze dried servings

It seemed to me that Philmont portions are about 1:1 standard (meaning,
they give you 1 serving per 1 boy). Even so, rations seemed a little
light.

My crew should have been named the Cimarron Raiders. Every trading post
and most staff camps have a swap box for food. My guys hit them hard.
And they ate almost everything at every meal. They are just little
ordinary 13-15 year olds.

Probably the most important things on food shakedowns are developing a
cooking & serving system (turkey bags worked great for us); noticing
that a duty roster is important; and drinking LOTS of water with or
without Gatorade. If the Philmont rations seem a bit lean, the next
swap box will fix y'all up (unless you're one of the very first crews of
the season. We were 619 and had no problem.)

When planning food quantities for shakedowns, how many servings do you
plan on for (1:1, more, less)
- Main Entree
