We are having one of our last advisor meetings and some questions are
popping up - imagine that! So here are a couple of ours: 1) 150' of rope
- use Philmonts' or bring your own? If your own - any recommendations?
What is this for? 2) Bear bags - use Philmonts' or bring your own? We
have one bear canister and I have a light-weight BB from BPL. Is it
worth getting something else? 3) Bugs - our trek is July 21.
Ticks/Flys/Chiggers/Mosquitos? What's there? 4) Water purifiers/filters
- are they needed? We are going on trek #28 which goes into Valle
Vidal. How much filtering is done? 5) Cat holes - is there a need to dig
these or are there facilities along the trail to avoid digging? For
digging is the "standard" orange potty trowel suffucient or is the soil
there harder?
Thank you in advance for your assistance. Scott Vivian - 0721-H7
