    Default Resupply question

    I am going to pick up the BMT at the Tapoco trailhead and head south in about 2 weeks. preferred place for resupply - Ducktown or Reliance? Are resupply choices ok or do you recommend a mail drop here? next best place for resupply sobo? Also, I am assuming daily mileages equivalent to what I do on the southern AT. is this a reasonable assumption? I do have Sgt. Rock's guidebox but wanted some further insight/opinions. As always, many thanks.

    I say it depends on what you want to do. In Reliance you could send yourself a drop. My favorite place is Reliance Fly and Tackle, but that isn't the only place that can help you. Reliance Fly and Tackle is only 0.6 off the trail and you can get a shower there and they have some food and WiFi. Nothing long term available there usually. If you want to hitch you could go into Ducktown where they have a hotel and full service grocery store.
