I've got a hunt planned for this fall and was wondering what the best method for traveling on an airplane was with my gear. I will need to travel with a pack frame with pack bag full of supplies, a daypack with more of my daily necessities, another bag of some sort to transport my food (duffle?), tent, sleeping bag/pad, ect....and of course my rifle. How would you travel with the above mentioned items? Do they need to be packaged in something special for transit? This is my first experience flying to a hunt so I would greatly appreciate learning through others mistakes or recomendations. I will be flying commercial and then on a float plane once I reach Alaska. I heard float pilots prefer soft sided gun cases and baggage for loading the plane. I guess I will call my pilot on that one. I suppose there are certain things not to try and bring to the airport that many of us outdoorsmen and women see as very common and not a threat to other passengers. What might some of those items be that I already have packed?
