First time camping abroad (Banff), looking for tips on flying with camping gear. I camp at least once a month at home in California, but I am heading to Banff for the first time in August and wanted to get some tips on traveling- specifically flying into Canada with camping gear.  

I’ll be checking a couple north face duffels and renting a car and flying into Calgary.  Will my stuff be ok to check or is there anything I should definitely carry on or not bring at all and purchase in Canada?
