[pct-l] What restocking hikers buy



As a thought, you might want to include a few details about the
number of thru-hikers that could be expected to pass through
in a given season and an approximate window when they might
be arriving. Also, mention section hikers as prospective
customers. A merchant in a city might not consider this
market worth spit, but in a tiny hamlet near the trail selling
$35 to $50 worth of supplies to each of 250 people a year might
look very tempting. Just don't promise them the moon.

need when they get off the trail for supplies.

things lots of hikers would have bought if it would have been
available.......etc.  Hopefully this list will find its way to suppliers
between Campo and Kennedy Meadows.

REMOVE from the list.
