[pct-l] PCT Thru Hike Resupply Strategy

[Jim Keener]

Pop tarts are cardboard, painted with a latex-sugar composite, and  
sprinkled with glitter.

I think resupply comes under the HYOH heading. Yogi's books give as  
much information as I could imagine needing for hikers to make good  
decisions regarding their resupply.

For those interested in minimum mailing, you might read Suge's 2003  
journal on trailjournals.com.
