A measure of distance anywhere between 5 steps and 5 miles. Given by Rangers at Philmont who have no idea what the actual distance to where you are going, so they completely bullshit their answer when you ask them how far it is to anywhere.
Scout: How far is it from Shaefer's Pass to the Tooth of Time?
Ranger: It's exactly 1.75 miles.
Scout: Since that is 1.75 Philmont miles, its probably about 4 real miles.
