Hello!

I am looking forward to my first backcountry trip in about 5 weeks. I've gotten some great trip-oriented information in another thread, and while my question may be based somewhat on "where" one is hiking, I still thought I'd ask it more generally.

I'll be hiking through the Smokies on the AT for 4 days in June, and I am wondering everyone's thoughts for this beginner on water resupply?

My guess is I would start at 100 liters in a hydration pack for the day. Towards the end of the day, filling up another 150 liters with stream or spring water, using 50 for dinner/next-day-breakfast, then filtering that evening for 100 liters of drinking water the next day.

I understand a huge portion of this plan is "where" the water is.

Any thoughts or reworking to this approach?

Thanks!!!
