[pct-l] Bounce box- is size important?

[yogihikes at sbcglobal.net (yogi)]

You don't have to use the same box for the whole trip.  Put together 
your bounce box for the beginning, then add and subtract items as 
needed.  As the quantity of items in your box changes, you can use 
a different box to accommodate those items.  You don't need to worry 
about finding boxes along the trail.  There is an abundance of boxes 
at every place hikers congrate.  Hotels and grocery stores always 
have boxes available, too.
 
You mentioned you wanted a box big enough to accommodate your ice 
axes.  You're not going to need to bounce your axes.  Pick them up at 
Kennedy Meadows and send them home from either Echo Lake/South 
Lake Tahoe or Sierra City.
