Mael,

Any problems getting it on the plane on your return trip? In the past I'd seen anything longer than a cane refused, to included collapsed hiking poles, and I wasn't confident that it could be safely packaged for the cargo hold.

We had a craftsman at the Elliot Gathering who was making some very beautiful sticks and I would have liked to have gotten one, but I wasn't sure how to get it back.
