Philmont Prep Series - Tour of Backpacking Gear in My Pack

Take a quick tour of all of the backpacking gear coming to Philmont Scout Ranch for our upcoming trek. This kit is by no means an ultralight setup, but attempts to balance weight with some comfort for two weeks on the trail. Total base weight runs 24-25 pounds before adding water and food. As a part of this series, I will debrief on what worked and what didn't upon returning home from the trip. I hope this helps future trekkers with their planning and preparation for their Philmont or other backpacking adventure.
