    Water- bladder sack vs. Nalgene

    I also had the dilemma of bottle vs water bladder. I've decided to take a platypus bladder that is easier to fill than the one that was in the backpack. Between getting water at stops and meals, I hope to only refill the bladder once during the day (2 L), and bring a small bottle for back up...

    TSA news !!!!!

    Laurie, When your poles collapse, how long are they? I have seen different lengths in collapsed hiking poles, and mine seem longer than others. Perhaps it's the model or age of my poles. When completely collapsed, they are about 76 cm long. Do you think I can carry these on? ~Bic
