[pct-l] ADZPCTKO Vendors : To pole or not to pole

[JPL]

I saw the announcement that included ski poles; didn't see hiking poles 
specifically but most folks can't tell them apart.  What I'm planning to do 
for my Sierra hiking is pack all my expensive and difficult to replace stuff 
in my pack (small enough to pass for a day pack) and carry it on board.  My 
poles, other non-hiking stuff, and easier to replace stuff, will go in a 
small duffel bag.  There's a specialty duffel bag web site that carries 
unusual sizes; I got one that's long enough to accommodate my collapsed 
poles, and small enough diameter so as not to be overly bulky.

I did see that,
However I'm not sure I'm willing to risk an argument over them at check in, 
i'd prefer to play it safe

Hiking and ski poles are now approved for flying, as are small knives. This 
just happened last week!

Hi all,

Amongst the vendors at KO will there be someone selling hiking poles?

It is not easy flying with hiking poles internationally, so I'm not not 
going to bother with getting them before, and I'll be sorting out so much 
else it'd be great if I could forget about oles until I actually start.


Also, I have never hiked with poles before so will spend the first week 
without to see how it goes and if need be i'll buy some at KO, assuming I 
can of course...

Patrick
