Well, what I didn't say was the big reason I was shopping for a backpacking tent was I had a dream. A dream of my son and I getting a chance to go to the Boy Scout's Philmont ranch in New Mexico. A dream to spend 2 weeks backpacking in the mountains with just a few friends. Well, that dream became a reality last summer.
Two years of planning, saving, training, and testing gear all culminated in a life changing experience. Me, my son, and a group from the might BSA troop 179 got our chance. This video does a far better job of what we experienced then meager words could ever do.
