[pct-l] how many days food do you carry?

[Michael Pinkus]

Hello all,
I'm using the PCT planner to sort out my mail drops and have a few questions. I will be carrying dehydrated meals for breakfast and supper with local fodder for lunches and some snacks. How many days food do you carry? I am trying to work it out to roughly 5-6 days of hiking and then a zero day to resupply, rest and clean up. 

any suggestions?

cheers,
Mike
