[pct-l] Mail drop timing

[Nitnoid1]

It all depends on how you mail the box. Flat rate priority mail boxes should be mailed two weeks before his arrival date. Ground mailings should be mailed four weeks before his arrival. Some of my hiker's boxes have to be mailed ground due to ORM-D designation.  Some need to use UPS due to no USPS service.

My son and his friend begin the PCT next Tuesday, May 4th.  I am in  
the ground control/logistics support role.  How far in advance should  
I mail resupply packages?

Since my son is vegan, he won't be able to do much resupply along the  
way, so I have to make sure he gets the resupply reliably.

Any responses will be much appreciated.
