Ranger Tan

Typically a tan that occurs on Philmont Rangers that gives them a farmers tan on their arms if they are wearing their short sleeve working uniform and a v-neck tan. This is due to the long amounts of time Rangers spend in the backcountry at Philmont either with crews, on days off, or on an assignment for a work day. This is not exclusive however to just the Ranger Department and can often be seen in off duty Backcountry and on/off duty Conservation Department staff and other staff who are out in the backcountry for a period of time. The more inclusive term is "Philtan".

"Dang dude, being out at Philmont for three months this summer really gave you a Ranger tan".
