    Default AT Hiekrs...welcome to Western style regs! :D

    http://www.accessnorthga.com/detail.php?n=245591

    Only effects a small portion of the AT, but something to keep in mind! Not sure how the logistics work. But there you have it...

    Having carry a bear canister is very common out West I'm afraid (more so in National Parks than USFS land). I believe they are required in the Daks, but I'll let someone else more knowledgeable about those mountains chime in.

    Wonder if such places at The Whites will have these types of regs in the future?

    Not surprising after the notorious Blood Mtn Bear has been stealing food for the last 3-5 yrs and all measures taken to remove or limit hikers has proven uneffective.

    5 miles? Wouldn't it be logical to just blow through and not camp in that area?

    Too bad, but ignorant/lazy people are who cause this problem for the bears and the rest of us.
