John:
I bought the video when I was at Philmont in 1993. Assuming that the
current video is the same one that I bought, it is very poor in quality
compared to other BSA videos. It looks as though the whole thing was
shot as a home video with only a camcorder and no external microphone.
The information is OK, but any handout with the proper items to take on
an extended hike would be as good (and cheaper than $20).
If anyone knows if the current video is different, please let us know.
