If stoves are void of fuel, can they not be shipped in checked baggage
(backpack)?

I have heard someone else suggest that everyone wear their hiking boots
on the way out there. At least you'll know everyone has them. I think
that's what we'll do. Takes less space than packing them, too.

What I suggested to our crews and most of them followed the advise;
1) Put your backpack in a duffle, no matches, lighters, etc in that
package.
Nothing you would need until we until we got to Philmont.
(I used a closed cell sleeping pad and lashed my treking poles to my
pack
and wrapped the pack with the sleeping pad before putting it into the
duffle
(made for backpacks - Picked up at REI))
2) Carry-ons were to have the crew members hiking boots, 3 days of
clothes
(two for the tourist option days, and 1 for the way home), personal
items,
etc. Why the hiking boots? I figured that the most critical item
should be
with the trekker while in transit. I'm sure that we could have replaced
a
whole pack and contents with some pain, but it would be next to
impossible
to break-in a pair of hiking boots before hitting the trail
With some difficulty, we were able to place all the empty duffles,
carry-ons, and two boxes we shipped our stoves and other stuff to
philmont
in the two tiny lockers.

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..
