[Philmont]: Christmas tents?

Christmas is just around the corner for families that need to buy gear for
Scouts and Scouters headed to Philmont.

Several crew parents have approached me about buying tents. I nearly had to
perform CPR after they looked at the prices for the ultralight gear their
trekkers are eyeing.

I was very uncomfortable in a MSR, 3lb, 2-man tent in 2002 that another
advisor brought. Four of our boys were in two Philmont tents, and did I
ever envy all that space. Im leaning toward a Philmont tent for myself and
thinking about suggesting it for the entire crew.
