Packing for Super Cub

[Clarktar]

The rule with any Cub pilot is to pack in small, compact and numerous bags and duffels. No hard cases except maybe a small Action Packer box that'll fit on the floor behind the backseat. If I may suggest one of my Youtube vids for a Cub-packed load(s)...watch the first 5 or 10 minutes of this video because I think it'l get you pointed in the right direction:

Might as well watch the whole thing. Always some to glean from Bartlett studios!

Lots of great advice so far. If you are pretty restricted on weight (i.e., how much gear you can take), consider using lightweight nylon stuff sacks versus actual dry bags which typically weigh a good bit more. I have always gotten away with using cheap nylon stuff sacks, and inserting a large contractor trash bag into each sack, then putting the gear inside that.

They aren't as bulletproof as a dry bag, but our gear has never gotten wet to date. If it's raining hard enough to soak through the nylon stuff sack AND a contractor trash bag, there's a fair chance that you may not be flying until the rain lightens somewhat...

When you recommend using roll down dry bags, what size bags are you thinking?

Mine are 35 L and have worked well.

Carry a few contractor garbage bags and distribute everything evenly. No need to buy anything special. Don’t poke the wing with your rifle.

Contractor bags are the ticket! That's what I use and my pilot loves me for it!
