Flying with Camping Gear

Tent camping in national parks is amazing. Since most Nationals parks are far from our home and vacation days from work is limited, flying is best option us. I can tell you that packing camping gear for air traveling takes some creative thinking. Since most airlines charges you for checking in baggage, inventive packing abilities certainly is a must have. Gone are the days where each of us have one carry-on bag and two 50lb check- in bags.

September 4 – 9, Ron and I will be tent camping at the Grand Canyon National Park. US air had the best air tickets; however, they charge $25.00 for first bag checked-in each way. A second bag is $35 and a third is $100! Needless to say we’ll be checking in one bag.

I start out making a list of things I absolutely must have. I study that list and subtract even more items. Must have items include tent, 2 air mattress, sleeping bags and 2 pillows, Coffee pot, and hiking stove. Ideally we’d like to have lawn chairs too. Yes we have flown with lawn chairs. Three chairs as a matter of fact.

It is summertime. It is suppose to be hot.

I hate winter. I even hate the beautiful fall season. I hate fall because of the season that follows it. You are not going to find me complaining about this heat. However, I must Say,  I am thankful for air conditioners. I must have a cold room to sleep. But seriously folks stop complaining about the heat. It won't be long before we'll be dreaming of summer time and wishing it was here. So stay calm, wear cool clothes or none at all.
