RE: [Philmont]: Shipping Coleman stoves.

What do you mean to wash out? I'd hate to put soap in the propane
line. I'd be more concerned if these were XGKs or other multi-fuel
stove.

IMO: If you pack them away, and not on your personal gear, the
chances of an ultra-close, personal attitude inspection are nil.

Concur with the conservative FEDex, method.

Doubt that I will, based on my experience.

OBTW: our air port was the first to use the air sampling machines,
and used them the most extensively (demonstration location).
Nothing swabbed, no issues. That's probably why I am not very
concerned about the stoves.

-- The La. Hiking Club has checked on this via the TSA site. I
have a guy
in our troop that works for the TSA -- the rule is yes, you can take
them...
BUT they cannot have ANY gas odor. They say wash them out with
soap and
water. Caution: you are still dealing with the individual and
not the
agency - so you could still have problems. The Hiking Club
recommends
[and what we do] is ship them UPS or FedEx ground. That way, they
are
waiting for us on arrival. No hassle.
