It depends on if there is water on the trail you plan to hike. If there is water I start with 1L and take a gravity filter or pump. If there is no water I plan those trips based on how far I can hike carrying all that weight.

I have a Six Moons Design 2p. Decent. Haven't had it in the rain yet. Had the company seam seal it. Single wall. 28ozs.

In 1989 I hiked it down Kiabab to The ranch and up Bright Angel in the same day. Liked to have kilt me.

Not sure the ATC can "require" anything but I may be wrong. I just read the SMNF requirements. It says food must be stored in non pliable bear canisters.

My right knee is on and off. Never know when it will act up. I'll order one and take it with me. Don't think I'm quite there yet needing a doctor, but its coming. I'm only 55 but 36 years of that was spent crawling in caves.

I'm new to the forum so forgive me if this has been answered somewhere else. I'm older with questionable knees so I am staying at all shelters in this area to keep my miles per day down. What is the reliability of water at these shelters in Sept? Should I bring my gravity or pump filter? Can you LNT camp anywhere on the trail or do you have to be at a shelter?
