How To Pack Camping Gear

How do I fly with camping gear?
I am going on a camping trip with this program and they’ve giving me some gear. But the hiking pack and the back pack is the problem. How will I be able to check that in? I don’t want a lot of baggage because that’s money we don’t have.
This is what I’m worried about:
Leather Boots
Day pack
Sleeping Bag
Sleeping pad
Nylon Stuff Packs
Wool/Fleece Jacket
Tennis Shoes
Bug Repellent
Clothes
Pocket Knife
Flashlight
Sun screen
Batteries
Camera
Rain Gear
Are there any limits to what I can fly with? How can I fly with a hiking pack? What can I bring as a carry on? Can I put liquids in my luggage like shampoo,lotion,conditioner, perfume? Can I bring Tylenol and Midol as a carry on?
Thanks because I leave in 2 1/2 weeks!
Seriously people.
All these items can go in your checked luggage. There is a weight limit and you can put liquids in your checked bags. See the TSA website for what you can have in your carry on versus your checked luggage. Tylenol etc. are fine in carry on.
