[pct-l] I'm wondering what is the most reasonable amount of days between resupplies?

Rich,

On my 2014 PCT Thru-hike my base weight was about 15 lbs, and leaving 
Tehachapi I had 7 days of food and 7 liters of water. At 2 lbs of food 
per day and 2.2 lbs per liter of water I was slogging up that climb from 
Highway 58 with about 15+7*2+7*2.2 or 44.4 lbs. All I can say was that I 
did it, but having always to carry that load would not be enjoyable. 
YMMV and HYOH.

Sincerely,
Tartan
