Looking to make a quick trip.

Looking to fly down after a good rain soon. What's a good place in apache junction to get all the supplies I need for a quick pack in? Tia

Usually my gear is down there, but gotta go it alone for this quickie.

what type of supplies are you looking for, be careful going not fully prepared.. can mean making it back out or not. but you already knew that..

Unfortunately, My guide I go with is Mia. Think he went to his find. The walled up cave, he said he wouldn't tell me if he went back up.. Why I wont share my spot here. I know roughly where his walled up hole is. Do believe he found the important one. . SO Im on my own. No biggie. People are weird like that. All the best to him tho. I got my cave to get to. Just gotta make sure I get a rock hammer, maybe a military shovel, back pack , sleeping bag, water filter, electrolytes. 7 days of mre's, a pan to cook. The most important a Roll of gorilla tape.

What did u do just put it in a garbage bag?

all my gear fits in my backpack. I use a 85 liter backpack which is pretty large. i can fit my tent , sleeping bag, jet boil cookstove and pot, air mattress , toilet paper , water filter, food stuffs, satellite phone, gps, candy, clean socks and undies. i have flown in and out of phoenix with it all assembled. just tie up all loose straps and check your bag at the gate. take a direct flight so you know your bag does not get lost during a layover.. i did not take my gun the time i flew. i do not know the rules on that , sorry.. plus you can still have a carry on bag..
however the better quality of the gear the lighter it is...

They don't offer direct flights from where I live. No Bueno. Thanks anyways.

you dont have to take a direct flight, it is just a fail safe option.. i fly often enough . i never have issues with my luggage not arriving. but there is a home depot not to far from A.J., and a walmart.. best of luck. stay safe.

Walmart should have most of what I need but maybe the rock hammer.. Figured Id leave most of my stuff in the cave when I leave for future trips as wouldn't need much on the way out. Plus putting a water reserve there so I can choose to go when it hasn't rained in the future. Im sure no one has been there in a long time High probability it would be there in the future. Thanks .
