I assume, based on previous experiences with flying with a backpack, that
your backpack is put inside a dubble bag of some kind before being checked on
the plane. I would then expect each trecker to bring a very small gym bag
or carryon with atoiletries, camers, change of socks, etc.
Is this about right? Or do you check your bags without putting them in a
duffel?? At one airline about six years ago we were told they would not
guarantee the safety of a backpack shipped with just its straps and waist
belt wrapped around it so we wrapped the whole thing in duct tape before we
checked it. I have checked snowshoes just held together with nylon wire
ties before.
At Philmont base camp then we would need to stuff our difffels (empty) in the
storage boxe with our class As and travel bags. I would appreciate info if
this is way off or if I am heading in the wrong direction..
