this kind of goes alone with my other post.
Any comments, recommendations, advice, etc on using the backcountry shelters in the Smokey Mountains?
If you make a reservation, is that a pretty much guantee a spot?
Am I going to get into a fight there over my spot?
Do I need to bring anything I normally wouldn't bring when dealing with the shelters?
Do I need to pack a tent just in case?
