TROOP 2000 PHILMONT PACKING LIST This packing list is designed for Philmont but is perfect for any backpacking trip. Many of the items are also useful for any of our float trips as well. Please remember to put your name and crew number on everything. If it's not on this list, do not bring it. Think about the weight of every item that you pack. Your goal is 25lbs or less of personal gear. This list is for backpacking light but not ultralight.
