Not everyone has a support crew at home willing to
ship out re-supply boxes. Myself included.

A bounce box allows a hiker to re-supply with items
that are not needed/can't easily be attained in every
town stop. I would hate to have to find slide film,
pre-paid film mailers in towns and having to carry two
guide books!

Exactly. Again, some hikers do not have a "quarter
master" at home doing re-supply. Bounce boxes are away
to allow a hiker without the support crew to remedy
this situation.
