[pct-l] Southbound JMT help

[Will Rohrer]

My friend and I are doing the JMT this summer, heading south from Yosemite
Valley on August 8th.  I was hoping to get some advice on what to do in
regards to resupplying during the southern half of the trip.  We are
supposed to exit Whitney portal on August 31, giving us over 3 weeks to do
the hike, which I know is quite slow, and it seems like the resupply points
over the last 100 miles or so are few and far between, and a long ways off
of the trail.  I would love any advice on how to resupply during this
stretch from people who have done this hike before.

I'm also curious, more generally, about cooking and cleaning techniques.
When I did my section hike 18 months ago, Castle Crags to the Columbia
River, I used a jet boil to boil water for dehydrated, self contained
dinners and had only dry food otherwise.  Thanks to this setup, I never had
to clean anything because I had no dishes.  I would like a little more
variety this time, and I'm going to buy a fry pan to go with my stove, in
part because we are bringing fishing gear.  I was wondering what other types
of food do people eat/cook, and how do you go about cleaning your dishes?

Thanks!
