[pct-l] No on Proposition foraging

[mkwart at gci.net]

Diane said what I meant to say in my email way back about foraging your 
way through the PCT. People that lived off the land did bring a lot with 
them when they travelled around, supplemented by game and wild edibles 
in season.

One would have to do the foraging and packaging in the off season, then 
use the modern postal service to mail that foraged food to themselves 
along the trail. Or else maybe cache it like Mendorider, somehow in an 
animal proof manner. Come to think of it, a lot of people do this 
already to a big extent if they make their own food in the off season 
and dry it to use on the trail. I dry vegetables and apples grown by 
friends and put them in baggies for the trail.

Another option would be to meet someone along the trail with your 
re-supply stuff. Of course they would have to get there by non motorized 
transport. (LOL).

Using the modern resources of community supported agriculture to get 
food for the trail, process it and take it on the trail is a natural 
extension of foraging on the trail and is a lot cheaper and more healthy 
than buying meals made by others.
