Please pack in handy small light weight sealed boxes (for example handy to use rubber maid type container medium size (12.5 inches deep ideal) easier for transportation and handling. Please do not pack in large or ex-large boxes and no big hockey bags. We are reminding groups no loose items and no little plastic grocery store bags or paper bags. Large rod or gun container tubes may have to stay in your vehicle.
Handy to pack your own can opener and plastic drinking glasses. When planning grocery list please shop for items in plastic bottles or cans and try not to bring glass bottles.
We do not supply lighting - please pack your own lantern. No candles please.
Keep in mind that certain items are considered dangerous goods that we can not fly in the plane. For example can’t fly bear bangers, mace, flares, batane, strike anywhere match. Bring safety matches. Gas, propane and naphtha must be transported according to specific instructions. Only certain type of battery can be flown and according to specific instruction; call and we can discuss this further first hand.
Please remember that you are responsible to tidy and clean the cabin before the plane arrives for your return flight to the base. Please make sure the dishes are washed and put away and the fridge has been cleaned out. Please do not leave any food in the cabin when you leave. There is a broom, dust pan, mop at the cabin for your use - please sweep the floor and give it a mop. All pitch in for a comfortable, clean and safe environment.
Please pack sufficient number of sturdy garbage bags because garbage must come out with you. Please do not leave any food and do not leave any garbage in the cabin when you leave - all garbage comes out with your flight - use heavy duty garbage bags and double bag the garbage - garbage must then be put in your empty plastic rubber maid container (keep in mind rubber maid container you brought in packed with groceries used now for containing garbage bags coming out) as this procedure is required for our air transportation of garbage. Thank you - it is very much appreciated.
Propane BBQ at the cabin - always fun to gather and enjoy conversation and laughs while preparing delicious BBQ. Just a reminder please clean off the BBQ after using it and make sure no food remains outside.
Please pass this information to each person in your group so they can also prepare, Thank you.
Review example of what to remember to pack and what for example is at the cabin. Please call also to discuss first hand well in-advance and prior to your arriving to Fly-in.
Reminder. Once at the Fly-in cabin lake location you’re on your own until the plane arrives for your return/pickup flight. If you’d like to rent a 2-way radio for the cabin, please make arrangements with us well in advance and prior to your arrival. Keep in mind that 2-way cabin radio does not guarantee a communication with our office,as sometimes atmospheric conditions hamper cabin radio signals. Please keep in mind that our aircraft fly daylight, weather permitting and bad weather will delay flights. When making your travel plans please remember to include delayed weather plan scenario.
Hope this information is helpful for now!
Please note, as we understand it,
