In just a couple of weeks I will be leaving for my hike. I am first flying to Naples, FL, where I will be staying about a week with family and then I am flying from Tampa to Atlanta. I have an Osprey Aether 70 pack and was wondering if that is small enough for carry on luggage.?.? I plan on removing the hip belt and storing it in the pack. Besides the fuel, which I don't plan on purchasing until I get to Atlanta, what should I mail ahead to AFSP? I was thinking trekking poles, knife, stove, steripen, and first aid kit would should probably be mailed. Does anyone else have any other input regarding the logistics of this? Thanks for the help...looking forward to seeing some of you out there!
