They have a basecamp where gear such as this can be stored / left behind. Thanks for your input.

Looking forward to seeing how you choose to pack it.

Would the airline cut you a deal if you sent all the troop's gear as palletized cargo?


Nice to know I'm not the only one 'kicking it old school' with an external frame, I actually wear leather boots as well. Some habits are hard to break. That's an interesting idea about bulk cargo, I'll check into that, appreciate it.
