The most prudent course is to ship crucial stuff ahead of time.




I guess you mean ship it to your outfitter/ guide for the trip? Is there
a way to ship stuff to yourself when you don't have a contact of any sort in
your destination?

Larry L ( who got sidetracked by family milestones this downunder season but
still hopes to spend a few months 'troutbumming' in Patagonia and New
Zealand in future seasons and is trying to figure out all the logistics.
For instance, I'd want to take my WaterMaster and backpacking tent/ stove/
sleeping bag etc etc ... what is the cheapest and safest way to get a
fairly large quanity of stuff to a place where you can collect it after
getting a rental vehicle ...... I'm pretty much travel ignorant.. 'cept in
my truck )



If you're making a hotel reservation for your arrival they'll probably
accept a shipment in your name.
