I will be doing a 5-6 day section hike in early Oct. starting at Springer Mt. I'm not sure how much water to carry. I do a lot of day hikes and the occasional overnight in some Florida state forests where water resupply does not exist. That means carry and/or cache. I have a 3 liter Camel Bak
and carry 2 or 3 water bottles. Are the water bottles overkill for the AT? I don't want the extra weight if not necessary. Thanks in advance for your help.
