    Default H2O b/t Green Corner Rd to Hot Springs

    Looking for some current info about the water situation b/t Green Corner Rd to Hot Springs. I will be hiking this section next weekend (after Thanksgiving) and would like to prepare for whatever intel I can get since we are in a southeastern drought.
    Thx, JBEN

    We hiked that section a few days ago. Water was really tight but don't be a pansy. We where having to suck dew off the leaves and drink our own urine. But we made it, so toughen up butter cup!

    CRUSS, thanks for the reply....I feel confident in my experience...however, I have a hiking partner that I'm concerned about. He is a rather large guy that is a little soft...

    Sorry your hiking partner is soft. Fat boys are usually ok. They store water like a camel in their muffin top. Other good sources of water are to squeeze it out if animal feces. And to get it out of the middle of bamboo poles. I usually take my USMC hatchet and 15in knife to be prepared for those situations.
