Philmont 2022
Our 2022 Philmont trek. We did a 12-day super strenuous trek 12-30.
It covered both tooth of time and Baldy. Our crew lost 3 people on day 4 to covid and an injury. We were able to get two of them back by the end of the trek. Because of the Covid exposure, we got taken off our originally planned trek and placed in a different camp with other treks who had Covid exposure. We were allowed to do our conservation project and day hikes. On day 10 our crew got the okay to get back on our originally planned trek and two of our crew were able to rejoin us.
It didn't turn out the way we had hoped, but it was still an adventure to remember. We will be going back in 2025. I can't wait!

Packing for a BSA weekend campout

Packing for a weekend campout can look different depending on what campout you are going on. For example, a hiking/backpacking campout packing list would look different then a canoeing campout, and much more different than a skiing campout.

      Thanks! I worked out 3 times a week (cardio mostly), and we did about 7 practice hike weekends with full gear. We did a super strenuous trek. It was hard work at times, but I never felt like I couldn't keep going. Our group was good about making sure to take lots of short breaks when needed. We are heading back next year. The only thing i'm going to change for working out is that I'll be adding more stair climbing to my workout. We did a lot of uphill last time and I want to be better prepared if the scouts pick anouther trek simular. You'll have an amazing time. It's such a great experience.

      Yes! I've used the bowls for a few months now. At the end of the video, I talk about how it's held up so far. For a more recent update, I went on a 5-day campout this last week, and 4 of us used these bowls. They worked great for all of us. I did have trouble snapping two sides of my bowl when the temps got really cold (30's) but none of the others had problems with their bowls. Overall it's a good product for the price. It is very lightweight, easy to wash and easy to use.

      @celticmagiclady It looks like that camp has two options. This first option is the day camp, and the second is the day camp plus overnight camping. If you're doing the overnight camping, you'd want to pack similar to what is in the video, plus bring your own tent, ground pad, and some chairs. If you are only doing the day camp, then I'd think a backpack with a water bottle and snacks iw, swim stuff would be the main things you'd need.. The camps website states to bring: Health form Parts A & B Clothing appropriate for outdoor activities Extra socks / undergarments Sunscreen & Insect Repellant Rain Gear Closed-Toe Shoes Backpack or day bag Swimming wear and gear Towel Personal toiletries Flashlight / Lantern Reusable Water Bottle Tent if staying overnight (one can be rented if arranged in advance) Sleeping Bags / Blankets Hope that helps.

    Did you say your pack weight was 47 pounds? That was with water and food or when you left home? If so, wasn’t that heavy? I’m heading out in two days and concerned about 24 pounds

    • @sugarscoutmom3582
      @sugarscoutmom3582 Рік тому

      That was with food, water, and my share of the troop gear. There is a scale at Philmont where you can weigh your pack before heading on the trail. My pack was heavier than I was hoping it would be, but I had trained a lot, so I was able to handle it. The gear and food they give your crew is split up between everyone. I had extra food to carry because of being gluten-free. They want you to have 4 Nalgenes worth of water on you, so that was more added weight. Our scout with the lightest amount of gear in his pack weighted in at 35 pounds before we hit the trail. If you've been training then you'll do fine. We had a super strenuous trek. I was scared about weight also since the heaviest I had backpacked with in the past was 35 pounds. Take breaks when needed and have everyone share in the crew gear. It'll be hard at times, but that's all part of the experience. I hope you have an amazing trek and time at Philmont.

      @sugarscoutmom3582 Рік тому

      @joefrassica4017 I have heard of some that said they did it with trail runners and were fine. I personally would not. The trails are ruff, and I appreciated having the extra support of a boot. In werse case, if trail runners fail, you can have boots brought onto the trail from the trading post while hiking. You can do that at a staff camp. Depending on your trek, though, they may not be able to get them to you until you get to your next staff camp. We came from a lower altitude also. We all did well. Staying well hydrated with electrolytes is key to help with altitude. You will be in Basecamp the first full day, and that'll help your body have more time to adjust before hitting the trail.

      You'll love Philmont! It's a great experience. You can use your own tent. All of our adults brought their own tents. 3 of the scouts in our crew shared a tent that they brought. The other two scouts in our crew used a Philmont tent. The philmont tent is about 5 pounds. The adults wanted lighter tents, so we brought our own. The 3 scouts that shared a tent had trained with the 3 person tent they brought and wanted to use it instead of a philmont tent that they weren't used to setting up. Philmont encourages everyone to use a Philmont tent, but not a requirement.
