Well, I'll have to deal with a question somewhat similar myself -
assuming I can make it to the OF this year, El Grande willin'...
My questions will be:
<1> just how many chiles can I fit in my backpack? (75 litres)
<2> check the pack at the airport and risk an orgy of mashed chiles
once I land back here in Pokey-tello (and this is the only orgy of
anything I would [probably] not enjoy).
or
<3> wear the pack as my carry-on luggage and risk having to cause a
national scene by whoooping the arse of the NGs/security who say
"sorry, we have to confiscate those chiles...they could be used as
weapons".
Simply, don't F?CK with my chiles! And I would go to jail for my
chiles, ya know....
or, i suppose...
<4> hit the nearest MailboxesRUs place on the way back and ship
myself about 40 pounds.
Hmmm.....decisions decisions...
Or I suppose I could just drive the distance....about 3200 miles
round trip....hmmmm.
NOT!
or the way to go would probably be to buy a cheap standard hard body
suitcase, fill it with tiny boxes, bags, etc, and thus pack my
chiles; check the suitcase, and hope they don't loose my checked
luggage...
Yeah, that's the ticket...

"And the Lord spake, saying 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin.
Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the
number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be
three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two,
excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once
the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest
thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being
naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.'"
