Ok, I'm curious, you mention in your video that you are packing the MSR stove and flying up. Do you rely on being able to purchase the fuel canisters when you get there as I was thinking that those types were not allowed on aircraft? Reason I ask is that I'm planning a fly in caribou hunt in AK and even the transporter states on website that we must bring white gas type stove. Anybody else run into this? Might be another idea of gear test of multi fuel stoves, as if you didn't have enough gear to test already. Have fun!

Ryan has a fuel canister.....not an issue flying with the stove.

Before I knew you couldn't do that. I made that mistake twice and both times my bag was check by TSA! They never said a word?? And I'm sure they saw it.

Never do it again though, I just didn't know it was a big deal. Gas is usually not that hard to find unless your heading straight to the trailhead and flying in on a late flight.

Becca, I am thinking Crack would be better. Keeps you up and helps cut some weight!

Yeah crack would be a great idea! Just remember to turn on them flashers on the drive back it will clear the road! Also on the canister question I have never had a transporter have a problem.

Ryan just picked me up and we're headed to the trail head.

He's going to drop me off and I'll start hiking. He's gonna meet me Friday sometime.

I'll update Robby with the SAT phone.
