I wanted to expand on the items that Adult leaders shouldn’t bring to Philmont. So, on this edition we’ll talk about clothing.

Some leaders will bring too many clothes. My guideline is to follow the Guidebook to Adventure. There is a really good list of items to take to Philmont. Let’s look at the clothing I took on my last trek.

(Snap Fingers)

- Clothing I have on – wicking shirt, breathable zip off pants, socks, underwear

- 2 additional pair of underwear

- 4 pair of socks – you could probably pair that down to 3.

- 2 additional shirts – one long sleeve, one short sleeve

- 1 pair of gym shorts

- Sleep clothes – For me it’s synthetic long underwear. I sleep cold.

- Fleece/Jacket – I didn’t take a fleece as I had a puffy coat on my last trek.

You obviously don’t need a pair of clothes for every day. There are ways to wash your clothes, but when you get into the trek, that won’t become a priority.

So, what did I leave out? Feel free to disagree with my list and add your own in the comments below and make sure to subscribe on all the socials.
