Airport Luggage Question?
I am going camping in the rocky mountains for 2 months. I am taking a backpack full of supplies, a tent, and a sleeping pad.
I am going to have to fly from PA to CO..
my question is… how do I get a tent, a hiking backpack full of supples, and a sleeping pad on a plane? Luggage things are so strict anymore…
if its all packed correctly and nothing will fall out, and its not over weight you put it in the check luggage.
but if its over weight you will have to pay for every pound its over, check with airline what the weight restrictions are, cos each airline is different.
its mostly hand luggage which is most strict so you will be fine.

Lightweight Backpacking and Camping $19.48 The days of carrying monster packs into the wilderness are officially over! New Book Completely Redefines How to Enjoy Backcountry Travel — "Backpacking should be comfortable, safe, and fun." So say the backcountry experts at Backpacking Light Magazine in their new book, Lightweight Backpacking & Camping: A Field Guide to Wilderness Equipment, Technique, and Style. And they should know: Backpacking Light Magazine is recognized as the outdoor industry’s leading authority in lightweight hiking and backcountry travel, and has helped thousands of outdoor enthusiasts discover the joy of going light. "The notion that you need to carry 40 or 50 pounds of gear into the backcountry to be comfortable and safe is absolutely ridiculous," says the book’s Editor, Ryan Jordan, who is also the Publisher of Backpacking Light Magazine and the outdoor industry’s chief proselytizer of today’s exploding lightweight backpacking movement. "Gear manufacturers continue to contaminate the market with too much gear that is overbuilt, overdesigned, overpriced, and overweight. Backpackers deserve to be told the other side of the story: that you can do more with less, and that a pack weight of less than 15 pounds (not including food and water) is easily accessible even to beginners." A book about lightweight backpacking should be smart, fat, and heavy. This new book redefines modern day backpacking as safe, comfortable, and fun – but with a much lighter pack. And, it doesn’t take a casual approach to the topic: 436 pages of content educate backcountry users of all levels about the gear and technique required to make them experts. Lightweight Backpacking & Camping fills major gaps in existing outdoor literature by offering: – Multiple, balanced perspectives that appeal to a wide range of experiences, skills, and personal styles. – In-depth content that provides basic, intermediate, and advanced discussions of skills that grow with the reader. – Up-to-date information about the best lightweight gear and apparel, including the manufacturers that make it and the retailers that carry it. Lightweight Backpacking & Camping is the most comprehensive and rigorous text ever published on the subject. In addition to chapters about gear and basic skills, consider its more advanced topics: why the biomechanics of walking justifies the use of running shoes instead of boots; how an examination of thermoregulation science suggests why today’s high-tech synthetic clothing is too heavy and poorly engineered; how super-ultralight backpacking with a five pound pack can allow someone in average physical condition to hike a 30 mile day, and why some inclement weather conditions can be ideally suited for sleeping under an ultralight tarp, rather than a heavy tent. Lightweight Backpacking & Camping not only sets the standard for backcountry education, it raises the bar to heights never before seen in the outdoor industry. Unlike other texts, Lightweight … |
