But the hiking pack and the back pack is the problem. How will I be able to check that in? I don’t want a lot of baggage because that’s money we don’t have.
This is what I’m worried about:
Leather Boots
Day pack
Sleeping Bag
Sleeping pad
Nylon Stuff Packs
Wool/Fleece Jacket
Tennis Shoes
Bug Repellent
Clothes
Pocket Knife
Flashlight
Sun screen
Batteries
Camera
Rain Gear
Are there any limits to what I can fly with? How can I fly with a hiking pack? What can I bring as a carry on? Can I put liquids in my luggage like shampoo,lotion,conditioner, perfume? Can I bring Tylenol and Midol as a carry on?
Thanks because I leave in 2 1/2 weeks!
Seriously people.
Cut up the leather boots and create a membrane for the wings.
get your day pack and allign it for the route.
both the sleeping pad and bag are used for extra airborne catcher.
nylon stuff packs can be used for handle bars.
wool fleece jacket used to sew the membrane in place.
tennis shoes shoelaces hold the nylon packs.
fill the route with bug spray for a lighter effect, the aresol in the can will greatly help lift you up.
Clothes also used for extra airborne catcher
pocket knife to cut up the membran/sew the membreane/cut the nylon packs.
Flashlight N/A use
Sun screen to lubricate the route
camera to take pics of high scenery
Rain gear N/A use.
You now have a fully made Air glider.
Have fun flying with your camping gear.
Without reading the actual description, it’s hard enough to fly without wings let alone carrying camping equipment. Good luck.
Pack It In Pack It Out. Remember don’t pollute. Lets keep the world clean so our children and grandchildren can enjoy the same beautiful place.

All these items can go in your checked luggage. There is a weight limit and you can put liquids in your checked bags. See the TSA website for what you can have in your carry on versus your checked luggage. Tylenol etc. are fine in carry on.
