Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Flying on commercial flight with an external frame backpack

I packed my Eberlestock with gear and checked it in as baggage. I did use a medium sized backpack to carry on a Geovid, a Leica digital and some assorted snacks. Just make sure your packs dims are somewhat close to what they advise. Many passengers abuse and stretch the carry on dimensions - it is ridiculous. The crews are fit to be tied but everyone wants to save the checked bag fees. This was on my last flight in April from MSP to ANC on a brown bear hunt. The snow screwed us up. will be going back in Sept. to finish the hunt.
