[Philmont] Advisor Questions

I'm sorry, but I can't see how you can compare bathing in a stream where
people downstream need that water to drink, and altering the course of the
stream by daming it, to using a superior bear bag method to the antiquated
method used by Philmont just because it works (if it ain't broke, don't fix
it).

If you want to call the kettle black, then how about trying courtesy, as in
get rid of all the extra text that is not needed to make your point, such as
the extra address info, Kim's portion of the post and a second set of
instructions how to send listserver messages.

Problem with throwing stones, sometimes you hit yourself :-(

  On our Day three, we and our sister crew go up into Valle Vidal into
Greenwood Canyon.
  Both crews had taken the wilderness pledge.
  Our Sister crew dammed up the mountain creek and started bathing in it.
  some people see that as harmless fun -- I saw it as violating their
Wilderness pledge.
  Moral of the story -- many crews change behavior after the Ranger leaves
though they should not

  Don,
  We trained our boys on the Pacific Crest Trail method of hanging which
uses a stop stick on the down string to suspend the food without tying to a
tree. I understand that the Ranger will teach the tie-off method. Can you
revert back after day 3?
