You guys are the best! Thank you so much!!

That CATSA list gave me some relief. BIC/Zippo, matches, scissors, nail files, nail clippers, bug spray and sunscreen are allowed, and have been added to my kit. Paramedic shears/penny cutters seem to comply too, so I've added a pair of those too.

I had some "Ug!" moments. Absolutely no knives or Esbit tabs, and "Flints" are not allowed either, which I take to mean no ferro rods. All have been removed from my kit. I can pick-up something up once I'm on the ground to replace these.

It also gave me some giggles. Did you know that you can't take bombs or contraband on domestic flights?! I could take my hockey skates on my carry-on if I wanted to though. LOL

Teacher, I agree about the cook pot. It's not necessary for this trip. I'm not planning to cook on my hike, and my metal water bottle will do the trick for making water potable or for a little brew up. If there's a local emergency of some sort, I will be staying with relatives so could easily grab a pot, and more, if we have to relocate.
