[pct-l] Bread/Tortillas/Cheese

[Jim & Jane Moody]

I did not send any breads or fresh cheese.  I did send freeze-dried cheese in my mail drops.  Most all the towns have a good selection of breads, tortillas, cheeses, etc.  Hikertown was limited, but even VVR had a pretty good variety, although pricey due to being so far from any store or town.

I am curious how people who send themselves resupply boxes include things like 
bread, tortillas or cheeses. Don't these go bad during the several weeks in 
advance the box needs to be sent? Seems like breads/tortillas in my home only 
last a few days, perhaps that is due to the more natural brands I tend to buy? 
If these are items that you have mailed in your resupply boxes are there any 
certain brands that last longer or tips that you could share? 

Or are these items bought on trail to supplement your box items, and if so do 
almost all stops have access to these basics (Warner Springs, Hikertown, KM?) 

Thanks for sharing your experiences!
