Last minute packing Tips?
My troop is leaving for Philmont In about 3 days. I am pretty confident that I have everything I need for the trip. However, I still have some last minute questions. (I would also like to ask for any packing/hiking tips anyone would like to provide)
Is the 4L water capacity on the Guide to Adventure needed? I have a Nalgene that I've been using on hikes for a long time. I also see lots of people using Smart water bottles, good idea?.
Why is the camera listed as an item that is supposed to go in the Bear Bag on the Guide to Adventure? I'm bringing a camera so I'd like to know.
How much sunscreen do we need to bring individually? I'm pretty used to wearing sunscreen in the summer - but the guide says we only need about 12 - 18 oz for the crew which doesn't seem right for a week long trek?
How is the weather there? I heard it can go down into the 30s and up to the 100s. However, when look at weather for Cimmaron it seems to be 50-80 next week. I know the weather on the mountains going to be different, what are your experiences like?
How big of an issue is elevation sickness?
About how much % of your body weight are you expected to carry?
How visible are the stars?
