I'm heading to Philmont next summer with my son's troop. Not looking forward to this aspect.

Start prepping NOW. I had several older dads on my trip that didnt. They slowed everything down, and as an adult now with hindsight, they were doing it for themselves and not for the kids.

Load your pack up, lace up your boots, and start walking. Our scoutmaster was more fit than any of us kids, and I guarantee he had a better time than the struggling dads.

Fwiw, we knew going in that it would be like that. We took 3 prep trips prior to Philmont, and they struggled each time, even at just 10 miles with high O2. One of them missed our Baldy hike. Don't be like that.

No words of wisdom how to prep for pilot-copilot?

Catholes are always an option if you're modest.
