[pct-l] "buy-as-you-go" strategy and leaving with the pack

[Andrea Dinsmore]

If the hikers are on a "squeeky" budget at Agua Dulce.....they won't make it
to Canada. Replacing shoes and gear will most likely happen. What are you
going to do then?? Food....you should be shipping a resupply box to the
places that have no major stores with in walking distance. As you wander up
the trail will you be living off hiker boxes or other's donations ? This all
comes around to your planning. If you are on your first PCT trip you'd
better be self sufficient or you won't make it. This is not a place to go
cheap on if you're a newbee !!!!  There will be unplanned for costs.
