Yesterday was basically just another day of hanging out. We finished purchasing parts of the official boy scout uniform. In base camp I cannot wear my ICED OUT MONEY hat. So I went to the trading post (store at Philmont) and got a different hat. I was able to bend the bill to make it look like a flat bill so it is still very fly. But I will break out the ICED OUT MONEY hat the second I am in the backcountry.
Later on in the day, Jack and I decided to set up the slackline and within fifteen minutes of it being up, there were about 12 people there who all were getting on it. They all had lines themselves and worked in the backcountry so on my off days I wil be able to just chill with them and maybe slack a little. There was one guy named Steven who was absolutely amazing on the line. He was going crazy on it. He made any other slackliner I have ever seen in real life look like shit. He would lay on the line and do these crazy spins on it. very cool.
Tomorrow we begin out 6 day ranger hike. So today we went through the procedure of getting gear and splitting it up in our packs. We are grouped into Training Crews of 6 people. My group is pretty legit. There is actually a girl in there who is going to be a sophomore at OU too. I had never met here before though. All the other rangers in my TC had worked at Philmont before so I kind of got Jewed on the packing list. I have to put this huge ass tarp thing in my bag. But whatev. It will be tight.
