    Trekking poles in carry on? I have the bd poles that breakdown to be very short. Are there tips/tricks to guarantee they can be carried on and not be denied by tsa?

    That would assume TSA is consistent.
    I had a pedal wrench confiscated. The TSA agent made a striking motion. I pointed out that the professional photographers tripod
    ahead of me, weighed at least 20x heavier, with much greater lethality.

    How dare you question my authority!

    Both Mrs. Plug and I carried on our folding BD poles on the 3 flights out and 2 flights back from SEA to Nairobi, (and back), in late June.

    Trekking poles are an explicit “no” in the carryon.

    Will they always catch them? Probably not. But I wouldn’t risk my expensive carbon BD Z poles.

    I had a U-lock a roll of packing tape I used to tape up the bike boxes and maybe some cable ties cpnfiscated cuz some cow in manchester did not like it thinking I'm going to use this stuff on the crew, she went off on the GF's teenage kid who called her on the BS

    so whatever man it was all cheap compared to the thousands spent on this trip

    OK. Sorry it was late and I was watching football. Anyway, lots of BD folding trekking poles on our last few trips without incident.

    After several google searches, I found this fairly recent blog post https://thenwewalked.com/hiking-poles-on-a-plane/

    I haven’t messed with those bd z poles too much (other than on trail walks), can they be easily disassembled into multiple parts and reassembled? Would that matter?

    Looking on forums, like Rick steves forum, I see posts of people that were successful carrying them on and people that didn’t want to risk trying to carry them on, but I haven’t seen posts where people were stopped by TSA (or foreign equivalent) and not allowed to carry them on.

    I used them many years ago on a long backpacking trip with my wife. I liked them, but forgot about using them except when ski touring. Now decades later of continual hard skiing and missing soft tissue hardware in a knee…. on a late May ski tour with lots of dirt walking, I was reminded of their helpfulness and my “good” and bad knees ached less during and afterwards…. I’m back to it.

    Proper trekking pole form really does relieve strain on the knees, especially when going downhill.

    90% of the people you see out on the trail have no idea how to use them or even how to put the wrist straps on though…it is intuitive for skiers (especially XC or touring), but a good chunk of people seem to think they are a toy meant for lightly tapping the ground with or are only to be used for balance when stepping up onto a log or something.

    Look into Camino Sours that have 10mg of THC, CBN & CBD. Need more? Try ABX Sleepy Time with 25mg of THC & 12.5 of CBN.

    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent this decisively. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

    I have questionable knees and was recovering from a bad ankle sprain on a hiking trip in September. Not usually one to use them, but with trekking poles I had no issues, even though the ankle wasn't (and still isn't) fully healed.

    I was a bc skier before I met my wife who also hiked. I was swinging my arms around on hikes together, saw fit people w/ poles, did it. I mean it’s the same motion as you use in the skin track really.

    Trying to keep it a secret! Yea it is my new favorite thing about traveling. The Denver Capitol One and the Salt Lake City Delta lounges are some of the best in the country - worth going to the airport early for flights.

    Those remodeled Denver United lounges are real nice.

    Haven’t been to the Capital One but I’d choose the United one over the Amex lounge now.

    Anyone here have a paid account on Expertflyer? I'm trying to find the details on why a flight was delayed - - I need to support an EU 261 claim.

    Airline messaging claims it was weather (fog) related - but it wasn't foggy.

    That’s the only time I’d wish o was traveling with a rigid wheeled bag. Use it as meat tenderizer.
