I’m looking for comments from Philmont veterans.  What item or items do you wish you would have taken?  What do you wish you would have left behind?

This is a Backpacking Light forum, and my gear was minimalist and light.  But the luxury items I carried were:

  • 3/4 length zrest to go under my 3/4 length Prolite pad
  • Thermarest seat that doubled as my pillow
  • MSR mugmate coffee filter
  • 1 lb Peets Major Dickasons coffee

Item I should have left behind:

Goretex lined shoes. We had so many stream crossings, I would have been better off with mesh footwear
