Rules & Requirements
Critical requirements from the official Philmont guidebook that affect your gear and planning.
Pack Weight Guidelines
Target 20–25 lbs base weight without food and water. Fully loaded pack should not exceed 25–30% of body weight. On trail with food and water expect 35–50 lbs. Philmont elevation means 20–35% less oxygen than sea level — every pound matters.
Absolutely Prohibited
Deodorant
Hammocks
Turkey bags
Bear spray or horns
Bear bag pulley systems
Drones
Fireworks
Sheath/fixed blade knives
Drugs & alcohol

Bear Bag — Everything Smellable
Food, toothbrush, toothpaste, lip balm, sunscreen, insect repellent, first aid kit — all go in the bear bag every night. Deodorant is prohibited entirely. Scented products must be applied well before dark so odors dissipate.
Clothing Rules
Avoid cotton — loses insulating value when wet, dries slowly. Wool and synthetics required at elevation. Long pants required for conservation, horseback riding, and pole climbing. Sleep clothes worn in sleeping bag only (bear protocol). Expect lows in the 30s at high elevations.
Water Requirements
Minimum 4 liters personal capacity at all times plus 2L extra for dry camps. All water from all sources must be purified — Micropur tablets issued. Drink 6–8 quarts per day at altitude.
