[pct-l] International Planning

[marmot marmot]

In my opinion re supplying yourself for about one to two months makes more sense. That's is if you do not have very unusual food requirements that cannot be fulfilled by regular large grocery stores or health food stores. On my thruhike  I was vegan and wheat free so bought all my food ahead of time. On my "Myth" it was easy to resupply sending a month of food at a time. Similar food used on each hike. The postage from Florida would be expensive. 
Contact me if you would like a list of towns with health food stores. 
Use Yogi's book or on line sources for usual resupply towns

I'm planning to arrive in Southern California a week or two ahead of my start date to organise resupply boxes which I'll post ahead (first two months worth). I have a distant contact (in Florida) who could then post the remaining boxes (last three months worth) as I work my way up. If anyone can think of a better way to prepare, other than resupplying in towns along the way or by purchasing hiker boxes, I'd be open to any suggestions anyone might have. I'd like to have my planning completed before my hike begins.
