I got wildfired last year (2018) so didn’t get to go. I lost 28pounds in prep for the trip. I had a 15 pound baseweight. Gonna try to do autumn adventures fall 2020. Thanks for the list. Might make a few changes to my load.
How did philmont go? What size zpacks backpack did you use? Philmont wants people to carry a bigger backpack than zpacks makes, did you have any issues with the smaller pack? Did you have to carry any of the crew gear that philmont hands out to crews? If you carried crew gear how much weight did that add. thanks.
I used the Arc Blast 55L, I carried one of the crew stoves (jetboil) and 3 extra fuel canisters, one of the bear ropes, the oops carabiner and one bear bag. My set up was great, with 2 1/2 days of food and 5L of water I was at 33 pounds total at my heaviest and 28 pounds on average.
@@peedeeoutdoors2975 Thank you for the quick answer. So your 12 pound base pack weight jumped an extra 21 pounds. That is good to know, so it is best to go as light as possible. My only concern (money wise), that I have, is that I have a perfect kelty 80 backpack that will hold everything and more but it is 5.5lbs. Those 3 extra pounds is almost a half gallon of water. I have another kelty that is a 50 liter at 3.5 pounds, but it just SEEMS too small for a 12 day trek. The gregory packs are the size but still heavier, still looking at a zpacks or a hyperlite. thanks!

Phil, it has been a few months so would you do anything different with your gear selection?
Any plans to make an after Philmont video? What worked well, what didn't work, that kind of thing.
How did you like the Altra's out in philmont?
dmk5n1 they were great, very comfortable and quick drying. Great combo with the dirty girl gaiters and smart wool socks.
