Hello All and hope all is well with you. Haven't been here for awhile. Now retired and planning a hike from Springer north, in the next few weeks. No set plan for distance. Who knows, might turn into a Nobo Thru hike. Do I really need a canister for that 10 mile section? I see it's the law. How about if I don't stop? I see you need a canister for the GSMNP. Any thoughts on that? A canister would really mess up my weight plan which is doing good at 28 lbs total. Probably 30 before I start. You know how it is. I am a rule breaker. Sometimes I get into trouble. I be very interested in your opinions on this. Kevin K
