Per Philmont:
Philmont Scout Ranch is the Boy Scouts of America’s largest National High Adventure Base. Born in 1938 as Philturn Rocky Mountain Scout Camp, Philmont has become a bustling center for high adventure and training. It covers 140,177 acres of rugged mountain wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo range of the Rocky Mountains in northeastern New Mexico. Philmont has a unique history of ancient Native Americans who chipped petroglyphs into canyon walls, Spanish conquistadors, who explored the Southwest long before the first colonists arrived on the Atlantic coast, the rugged breed of mountain man such as Kit Carson, who blazed trails across this land, the great land barons like Lucien Maxwell who built ranches along the Santa Fe Trail and miners, loggers and cowboys. All left their mark on Philmont.
Philmont Scout Ranch operates 35 staffed camps and 55 trail camps across the rugged terrain that ranges in elevation from 6,500 to 12,441 feet. More than 1 million Scouts, Venturers, and Advisors have experienced the adventure of Philmont since its first camping season in 1939. Most activities take place during the summer, but Philmont also offers programs during the offseason such as Autumn and Winter Adventure. Throughout its existence, conscientious attention to low-impact camping techniques and diligent wildlife and forestry conservation work has helped maintain Philmont’s wilderness.
In addition to providing an unforgettable adventure in backpacking across miles of rugged, rocky trails, Philmont Scout Ranch offers programs that feature the best of the Old West-horseback riding, burro packing, gold panning, chuckwagon dinners, and interpretive history-with exciting challenges for today such as rock climbing, mountain biking, and sport shooting. It’s an unbeatable recipe for fast-paced fun in the outdoors.
I went to Philmont in the early 90s. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I had so much fun and saw some of the most beautiful scenery. Definitely in my top 5 best times of my life.
It is a magical place...
Went to Philmont in 1984 and 1986 great memories
Our trip maximized our experience. We left at 5 am and took our bus to Fort Worth and went directly to Top Gum School. everyone flew a combat mission, we went next door for dinner and then to the Underground, a game room below a church. Spent the night and left early the next morning for Sante Fe, NM, and set up camp. The next day we went to Taos Indian Village and then returned to Sante Fe for shopping in the mall and toured the church with the famous staircase. The next day we visited and toured Bandelier National Park, and had lunch. Drove to Los Alamos to the museum and tour. The next morning we left for Philmont. Arrived about 8:30 After health check and orientation we toured the Wade Phillips villa. The next morning we headed out on the trail. We ate dinner everynight in our Class A. We got up at 4:30 am and after drinking a quart of water headed out. This early start got us to the next campsite everyday before 12:00. That gave us a lot of time to enjoy activities. We drove directly home, total trip of 17 days. We took pictures, and videos on our way and during our trip. I'm sure everyone slept for a week after we got home. Best trip ever.
Sounds live an amazing experience!!!
6-Mile Gate was our start point for our trek in 2004. So great to see this video!
It was a great start for us. We were able to ease our way into the trek.
@@AndyParrishOutdoors A crew digital camera was cutting edge in 2004, LOL, and video wasn't an option. We got some good pics of the first days to Anasazi and Indian Writings. I think y'all broke off from there as we went over Hart into Ponil. Still great to see actual videos of the same terrain we traversed. Such an exciting moment, that first step on the trail.
Everyone was so pumped up that first day... Until we hit that first little climb... 🤣🤣🤣. All the chatter fell silent at that point..
You guys took the train from IL to Raton, NM? Dang! We flew when I went in 1994. I lived in Buffalo, NY at that time. I went with my brother and other scouts from the WNY area. My dad purposely didn't go as he wanted us to go together without him. He went to Philmont in 1960 and come to think of it, I believe he took a train to NM😂
The troop flew out in 2016 and took the train in 2019. We are looking to fly in 2023. It's an experience to take the train out. I'm not sure I'd care to do it again... Maybe...
Looks like a great trip for the BSA. Man I wish when I was younger and in the BSA we would have went out on some major adventures like that. Seems our group stayed pretty close to home most of the time. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to many more.
After doing boundary water last year and philmont this year, I think these high adventure trips make the program so much stronger. What amazing experiences for everyone. I didn't do those trips either as a youth, but I get to live it now with them. Truly amazing! Thanks for watching!
I had a crew that was supposed to go in 2018 but we were cancelled due to the fires. We trained for a year and a half. Did your crew do any training hikes?
We scheduled 3 hikes leading up to our trek. We had one cancelled because it ended up being below freezing with rain/sleet/snow mix. I highly encourage them.
I see you switched from granite gear crown 60 to a zpacks. I have a crown 60 and thinking of getting my son one for philmont this summer. Is the crown 60 large enough for my son in your opinion.
My son rocked the crown 2 60 this past summer and loved it... It all depends on his gear (sizing & weight) . Make sure he has 10-15L of space left for food & crew gear. (the zpack was smaller only 55L vs 60L) Great deal on the crown2 at drop.com - $120 just make sure the size is right too!
@@AndyParrishOutdoors
Thanks for the info. I was worried about the capacity and the weight for the pack. His base is about 18 to 20 pounds. I'm trying to get him down to 15 to 16.
the Crown 2 does have a 35 lbs load rating so it sounds like you should have room to load in the food/water/crew gear. If you are still unsure, Granite Gear also has a highly rate Blaze pack with similar dimensions to the Crown 2 but with a heftier internal frame that allows up to 50 lbs carry load... and it still comes in at only about 3 lbs... bit.ly/2WbMMVK
What device(s) did you shoot video and stills with? How did you recharge?
I shot most of the footage with my Canon M50 w/22mm lens. I also occasionally used my samsung S10 as well. I brought 2 anker batteries (10k & 13k mAh) and 8 total Canon batteries. I charged my anker batteries during the day with my anker 21W solar charger. A total of close to 4 lbs of just camera gear... Although, I took more batteries than I needed. Maybe 4 for the camera were enough. They are pretty small too...
How was the Amtrak? Did they let you guys carry your fuel and knifes because on their site it says no but I've herd otherwise.
We didn't have any issues with our pocket knives. If memory serves, we got the white gas at Philmont... (just took empty containers for our 2 stoves)
How many days on trail?
We did a 12 day trek.
My Troop is doing 7 day in 2021.
