Gold bond has quite a curious scent... Bear are curious creatures. Use with caution in the backcountry.
Hope your trek takes you up into the Valle Vidal... Best outdoor hiking experience I've ever had.
Philmont is an experience of a lifetime (two-time Philmont trekker), glad you can go with your son, my Dad was able to go on one of my treks and I'll always remember it!
