Transporting Genetics?

So I am currently in the midwest and will be moving to the emerald triangle come fall. I have a couple strains here that I just can't stand not to bring with me.... ....not sure what to do. well first of all only 3 clones need to come with me, not a whole hell of a lot.

so i thought i could just bring them in a car, cross country and if we get pulled over just eat them and try again next time.... still risky.

I've also heard a little bit about micro clones. sounds like the technology is a little above my head unless someone has a simplified recipe. that would be rad to send them through the mail. alot less worries y' know?

So if anyone has any insight or ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks
Here's one of the strains I wanna bring

Personally, I would make a batch of 8 or 9 clones from each strain, and pick the 3 top ones of each to take with me. Then I would cut down a couple two liter bottles to make humidity dome's for them. Put damp perlite in the bottom of each one. Do enough that you can put one clone of each strain in a bottle(3 clones in each bottle, each one different but well labeled). Right before you leave, tape them up, and bury in a box of clothes to they stay upright. That would make a good solid 3 chances of them making it, and if you aren't driving straight though, you can just unsrcew the lids and exchange air/add water as needed. If you are going straight though, I doubt that you would have to mess with them much.

Congrats on heading out West, certainly a dream of mine as I live in a not so tolerant area. I had a friend of mine who headed out west with the same problem. What she did was to take small rooted clones, maybe only 2 inches tall, and remove them from whatever medium they were in (rockwool etc) so they were just clone and roots. She then carefully cut the leaves in a way that she removed the jagged edges. Then she placed then in a small tupperware container with some salad. Then she paid a friend to drive some miles a head of her on the road, so that if there was a random road stop or some other unsafe issue her friend could call back to her and she'd have time to get rid of the evidence via eating. She said it was an intense ride as she didnt feel comfortable smoking the whole time because she didnt want to smell at all. But they made it with no problems. She said if there would have been trouble she would have just tried again. Hope this is useful.

send them to urself via mail..A couple of clones wrapped up wouldn't be enough to suspect as a suspicious package<>Very simple<><>

Cuttings in a thermos works every time for me. Keep the thermos cold and the inside damp and you will be golden.
