[pct-l] The Thruhike Maildrop Shoppinglist

[debdickason at yahoo.com]

As the mom of a thru hiker who leaves Seattle to start this journey May 5th, I would also appreciate this sort of information. At 24 he leaves feeling confident and prepared as any young man might. As his mother and observing support staff, I'm not feeling as prepared!

Any lists or clues to help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All,
 
Depending on your planning of logistics for mail drops,you may have ended up with a spreadsheet of what to put in which mail drop container, and the destination post office along the trail. (eg. shoes, ice axe, bear canister)
 
For a PCT  thuhike south to north, at the earliest start of the thruhike season.
 
Lots of advice on this list may have assisted you in your determination, and I assume that through the years that a pretty much standard, standard has been followed.
 
I should be very pleased if some would be willing to share the generics and suggeted locations of their mail drops. 
 
If a standardised 'shopping list' already exist, please post the link.
 
Thanks in advance
