This is probably a dumb question but..... if I have a backpack full of "prospecting equipment" it IS considered "Hand Carried", correct?
No wheels, no skis, no pack animal (except for my pony-sized dog), right? (just guessing) There's probably a legal clarification of the term here somewhere that I haven't stumbled across yet. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Hi Swizz,
No way is that a dumb question. The only dumb question is the one that is not asked.  Yep, all you described is still hand carried even if Lulu was a full size mule.  You bet there is a quote here for you and it can be found in the thread titled "FSM-Prospecting/Mineral Collecting, 2860 & 2861" right here in the Prospecting and Mining Laws, Regulations etc. section. Specifically you're looking for 2861.2 which is a bit down in the quote and bold texted. The FSM or forest service manual goes along with the forest service handbook (FSH), and each FS employee is bound by them according to law in regards to how they perform their job.
