[pct-l] Question from Guy

Pack a cell phone.
That way you don't have to hitch a ride all the way down into the towns.
You'll even get service on Whitney.

"...can you hear me now?...Good!"

I think the best way for your family to contact you on the trail is to be 
proactive.  You said you'll call them every 3 weeks.  That's a long time 
between phone calls.  Call them from every town.  Just to check in.  Your 
longest stretch between phones will be 10-11 days --- IF you hike the Sierra 
without a trip out to Independence or Lone Pine.

Sure, the PCT is more remote than the AT, but there ARE towns.  You'll reach 
a phone every 3-6 days.  You may walk 150 miles between towns, but on the 
PCT that's only 6 days.  On the AT that might have been 9-10 days.

If your family needs to contact you, their best bet is to KNOW where you 
were recently.  Call them from every town.
