This is exactly why I prefer lightweight mountaineering gear. I can
throw it in the plane and not worry about weight and balance, hump it
in over the mountains, or haul it in the back of my truck.

Oh, and mountaineering gear is designed for even worse weather...

Yes, you pay a bit more (but not much more than the Cabela's heavy
stuff), but I get more use out of it than once a year.
