[pct-l] backpacking planing

[dude at fastmail.ca (dude)]

People hike this entire trail with as little as 4kg.  there are many 
towns along the trail (usually withing walking distance, sometimes 
within hitch-hiking distance).  there are a few books on this 
subject, the trail guides have some information, and there is a 
detailed "trail town guide". most of the info you need can be found 
at the PCTA website.  here is a link to the specific re-supply page 
of that site:
http://www.pcta.org//planning/before_trip/strategy.asp

here is another helpful link:
http://www.pctplanner.com

here is a list of links to gear and other resources:

get the trail guides and read them, they will answer alot of your 
questions.

the archives of this email list will also provide tons of good info:
