Hi there, Im hoping you guys can help me with a few questions, Torjus has been real helpful so far but I have a few questions that are more then likely answerable by the Bushcraft UK hive mind.
In short, I am off to Norway for 9 days in 3 weeks time, I have flights, travel routes, maps and equipment all covered and double checked, and awaiting triple checking, however there are a still a few queries to pose, so here they are;-
- I am flying with Ryanair, obviously parts of my gear are non flight friendly, namely knife and folding saw.
The following is from Ryan Airs website under the heading What items are Prohibited in checked in baggage i.e. baggage in the hold.
Guns, firearms, ammunition and weapons (including replica items), paints, Christmas crackers, items with internal combustion engines such as chainsaws, model aircraft, lawnmowers, etc., may not be carried in any baggage (whether checked or unchecked)
Note: Any sharp objects in checked-in baggage should be securely wrapped to prevent injury to screeners and handling personnel.
Would they throw the weapon thing at me even though the comment at the bottom refers to sharp items ?? As there is no mention of knives or saws at all.
Has anyone taken these items on a flight and theyre been cool as theyre in the hold ?? Or is it best to send them ahead or buy new ones when I get there (Id rather not due to funds).
- The majority of my meals are going to be dehydrated meals (Reiter) which may be cheating a little, but better fed than not. However I do plan to fish and eat the fish, any ideas what other foods I could forage for ?? Mushrooms, Plants etc..
- Are there any restrictions on bringing dried food into Norway (usual stuff) ??
- If I need to purchase a cheap Knife, clipper or such like and a folding saw, any idea on price as I know Norway is expensive but Im unsure how this refers to specific markets.
- Where can I buy Sterene candles ?? Im drawing a blank on that one.
- Is laying snares going to be worthwhile (Torjus probably) ?? As I was under the impression that only hares were around not rabbits.
- Does anyone here extend their insurance policies when doing a trip such as this, previous to this, I havent but am wondering whether this would be wise.
NB. Sorry for such a long post, Ill pop on over to the Inroductions forum as soon as I have chance * doffs cap *
