Camp Trowel
As you traverse the rugged beauty of Philmont’s trails, a journey laden with adventure and the promise of discovery, you’ll find yourself occasionally in need of the facilities – a necessity often overlooked in the excitement of the wilderness. Fear not, for Philmont, renowned far and wide for its exceptional amenities, offers you the unparalleled luxury of its World Famous Latrines, a testament to the dedication to comfort and convenience that defines the Philmont experience.
Yet, amidst the vast expanse of Philmont’s wilderness, there are bound to be moments when you find yourself far from the welcoming embrace of a Staffed Camp or a Trail Camp. In such moments, it falls upon you, intrepid explorer, to take matters into your own hands – or, more accurately, into the earth. Yes, it is here that the humble camp shovel emerges as a pivotal companion on your journey, a trusty tool upon which you must rely to dig what is affectionately known as a “cat hole.” This task, seemingly mundane in its nature, becomes a sacred ritual of camaraderie and cooperation, a shared endeavor that binds your crew together in a moment of communal purpose.
And fret not about the accoutrements of civilized life, for Philmont, ever the gracious host, has foreseen your needs and provided accordingly. Toilet paper, that humble yet indispensable commodity of modernity, is readily available to you for resupply at backcountry commissaries, provided by the benevolent hand of Philmont itself. So as you traverse the wilderness, remember that amidst the grandeur of nature, there are small comforts to be found, reminders of the interconnectedness of humanity even in the most remote corners of the world.
