[pct-l] bounce box statagies

[dan kayser]

I am planning to use the bounce box (pail) method and would also like to try and budget for this.  Can  those that have used this method tell me how many bounces you made and the average or total cost for all your bounces?


Dale,

I am using a 5 gallon or 3-1/2 pail with a screw top lid so I can easily re-seal it for the next bounce.  I'll be using it for a few food items, extra socks, water treatment, maps, battery charger, etc.

> Can any veterans let me know if they have any bounce box strategies.  The only thing I know about them is what I read In Yogis PCT Handbook.  She suggests a 5 gallon pail with a lid.  Looking for info on mailing costs of a five gallon pail, items folks put in it, locations that might be best to forward to.  My pace would be between 20-25/day average including zeros.  Not sure if that is necessary info
