I am taking a commercial flight to do some backpacking - and I need to bring my gear with me.
While I am certain I can get all needed items into my backpack and take it on the plane with me - interestingly - that also includes my cook kit (flint included) and trekking poles.
Any chance in hell that the TSA might let me board the flight with these items as a carry on??
I tried searching for articles written about these topics, but didn't find anything specific.
Thank you for any personal experiences!
[for the record, I've already looked into shipping my items UPS ahead of me, and it was going to cost more than checking a carry on bag.]
