Steve, thanks so much for the info. I believe we'll take 2 canisters, though I have access to an Ursack and have plenty of time to contemplate taking one of those instead of one of the canisters.
As for rain, I've decided to take a poncho (that can cover the pack, too) & waterproof gaiters.
Training hard; getting psyched up (trying not to get psyched OUT)!
Thanks for your stewardship of this wonderful site!
