Tooth of Time Traders is a store located at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. It is a great resource and a fantastic store for preparation before a trek or hike. The store has a great selection and tons of high quality, reliable camping gear. It carries literally anything Scouting related and camping related, including backpacks, hiking boots and shoes, clothing, and travel-sized toiletries. You could arrive with no gear and be fully outfitted without overpaying, as they have competitive prices. They also have plenty of souvenirs to look at, such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, water bottles, hats, keychains, and geodetic markers. It is a nice way to stay cool and a great place for last-minute items before heading out. There is also a sale yurt next door. Many visitors enjoy walking around the store and bringing home souvenirs from their time at base camp.
Had everything one could need in a trading post in philmont. My only gripe was that everything was really expensive.

Good place to get what you forgot or feel the need to get before starting your expedition. The opening hours of the store is 7:00 am to 6:45 pm by the way.
