Help with Philmont tent and backpack decision.?
I will be going to Philmont next summer and i was wondering if i could take the Ascend™ Hiker 1 1-Person Bivy Tent. And what would be the best pack to take.
Thanks for your help.
Would the Osprey Kestrel 48 be a good pack for Philmont?
I don't trust the tents you may get "issued" by Philmont staff you have no idea how the previous user took care of it so it is best to bring your own. They do require a buddy system not necessarily a tent buddy though you will camp in pairs at least.
Your choice of tent, the Ascend™ Hiker 1 1-Person Bivy Tenthttp://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_104394_325001000_325000000_325001000_325-1-0
is not a free standing tent, although light weight and of low to fair quality, these tents that require staking do not perform as well as free standing models do. Nor do they give you space to move around in bad weather. You get what you pay for, up your price range and go with at least a 2 man model and share the weight with your buddy. I recommend the REI Quarter dome

Your pack choice of the Osprey Kestrel 48 is ok

However when the weather is hot these internal frame packs make you sweat like a pig and Philmont gets toasty hot. The other problem with your choice is limited space 4800ci may not be enough. So Then the better choice would be an external frame pack like the Kelty with 6500ci of space and plenty of outside storage options.

There are arguments for and against these pack and tent choices what you can do is rent them try them out on an overnight-er and see for your self if you like the set up. Good Hiking!
