[pct-l] Kennedy Meadows, Drop Box, Pack List

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good evening, Miles,



I haven’t seen any “titans” on the trail.  Are you sure you didn’t intend to
type “trash”?  Anything that looks as classy as a titan is probably a
day-hiker, but they smell funny.



At Kennedy Meadows I would receive routine replenishment items like food,
Chapstick, DEET, sun block, new socks; a new set of maps, exchange SD cards
and batteries for the camera; plus replacements for anything else that has
worn, such as shoes, shorts, shirt, etc..



More specific Sierra gear would include a bear ‘can; possibly an ice axe and
instep crampons if it looks to be a heavy snow year; screws for my shoes and
a driver socket maybe; baskets for the trekking poles I don’t already have
them in place; and at least one heavy-duty compactor garbage bag to keep
stuff dry when fording.  If I didn’t already have a mosquito head net, this
would be an excellent time to receive one.
