      We will be leaving for Alaska in a few weeks. Can anyone whos gone, please give me some tips on getting all our equipment there. We were told we could ship flat rate boxes out early but the boxes are ridiculously small for our needs. We have to bring sleeping bags, air mattresses, waders, hip boots and all kinds of other stuff! How do we get all this into our luggage and maintain the weight restrictions? Thanks for your help!

    Since I plan to work there in the future as a temp, we have looked into this. (My family and I) and there are two options. Freight shipping (or check with UPS) or take a ferry instead of a plane from the north Washington area to Anchorage or other coastal cities. I am planning the ferry as I can take my car loaded with all my stuff that way.

    Yeah I was going to recommend ship via FEDEX ground and hold for pickup at the local station,
