I am going to be heading back up to Alaska in a week or so and I am in a bit of a pickle as to how I am going to get the gear that I want up north. I want to bring 2 camera systems, my Canon digital and 2 lenses (35mm and 50mm) and my Wista 45 SP field camera. I will probably be bringing my 150, 210 and 360 tele lenses with me as well as a small loupe, dark cloth (can go in my clothes bag), meter, 545 holder with quickloads and numerous double darkslide holders as well. Oh, I will also be bringing my laptop too which complicates things further. So, how the hell do I get all this up there? Fortunately, I will be buying a beater car once there and will be driving home in it so getting it all back is not an issue.
My digital usually resides in a large LowePro bag but it is not very effecient and my 4x5 kit is in a large storm case, so, can't carry that on the plane either.
I am thinking that I might ship a small box of stuff to a friends house in Anchorage to pick up on my way out of town so I won't be so weighed down while in Bristol Bay.
Opinions? Ideas?
