[pct-l] Shipping/Transporting gear from east to west.



Jason 

Twice this year I hopped off the trail on to a plane then flew back again. 
My "As Is" pack was my luggage.  Once they put it in a bag for me.  I
suggest packing trekking poles seperately if they extend from the pack. 
Without knife, fuel, and trekking poles, my second flight, it was carry on.

See you on the PCT
