Philmont gear selection.. on 04/19/2006 07:41:20 MDT Print View

After reading the new Philmont article, I have just one question...

"Philmont requires a tent; no tarps or bivies are allowed. They do not require that a tent have an integrated floor, so many lightweight options are available."

Does that make any sense to you at all? Or is that just one of those "just go with the flow" kind of things.

Seriously, how is a Betamid not considered a Tarp?
