For a backpack on Philmont that will easily carry 50 lb, I suggest the Mystery Ranch Bridger 65. It is incredibly comfortable and leaves you with little to no soreness after a long day on the trail.
I never want to carry more than 35lbs st philmont.
And you’re carrying 35 lb with a frameless ultralight pack? Ouch.
Not frameless. But still not well suited for carrying more than about 30Lbs.
Canister stoves are definitely the way to go. Sooooooo much easier and safer than white gas.
Agreed!
I agree that these style stoves are much faster...However, the big pots allow for the sanitation of the dishes before meals. That is something that they need to work out if they want to make that change to smaller/more efficient stoves.
I totally agree! And this is easily solved by picking dishes that can be dunked in the boiling water in whatever size pot is used. I use Fozzils plates at Philmont and they can be rolled up and dunked, flipped, and dunked again so that they are fully santized in the boiling water even in a 1L HE pot. :)
@@CampingGearReport we took fozzils bowls in 21 and will again this year they work so well and they can be licked clean to seriously make the wash process super eazy
This might have already been covered but please help me understand: how can the ingredients for a whole dinner fit into those small pots for the whole crew? (And of course there's still the issue of sanitizing individual bowls and utensils prior to adding the ingredients for the one-pot meal.) Thanks for the info. Btw, if the 8-quart pots are being used, imo place them inside the internal frame packs. We used to slide them over the sleeping bag on the outside of the external frame packs a couple of decades back.

And a 4L pot is plenty big for any meal I've seen that needed rehydrated iun a pot a PSR.

Take your MSR liquid stoves. They are a fantastic piece of equipment. Do some research and find out what’s best for you.
Nah. Liquid school stove have been replaced by newer designs that are easier and much more reliable.
My son went to Philmont 2 years ago and is going again this year. He said that not all of the meals were packaged in a way you can just add water to them and that you needed to add their contents to the big pot. What do you do in this situation if you elect not to take the big pot?
The issued pot is larger than needed for the scenario you mentioned. A smaller, more efficient pot will serve the same role for less weight and less space.
@@CampingGearReport If you use a heat exchanger pot to heat water to add to the "cooking pot" what did you use as a rinse pot come dish washing time?
They would solve that issue by adjusting the meals.... Getting rid of the Knorr Pasta or rice meals and adding something that is the equivalent calorie count, but is just a re hydrate type meal.
How many canisters should I bring for a 12-days treks in Philmont?
100% depends on how you use the stoves. you need to do some fuel consumption testing to get your fuel burn numbers. But most crews seem to report using about 1.5 of the big canisters for a 12 day trek.
@@JeffCress thank you for the tips. I will bring two big ones (440g/15.5oz).
You can buy more at backcountry trading posts.
@@CampingGearReport I took two big ones and a smaller one for spare. We ended up didn’t need the smaller one. 😊
I've found that the propane doesn't work well at higher altitudes
Current iso-butane blends are fine at any altitudes most folks might ever encounter at philmont, or higher. No one carries propane in the backcountry.
Cold soak all day to rehydrate and then bring to a boil when you arrive at destination.
Cold soaking is forbidden st Philmont.
