[pct-l] Please HELP me!!!!



Here's my bounce bucket list:

T paste
Purell
Q Tips
Tent Stakes (just a couple)
Speakers
Sunscreen
Water Filter Cartridge
Duct tape
2 bandanas
Spoons
Platypus 2 liter
Nalgene 3 liter widemouth
Nikon Battery Charger
Extra V8 Alcohol Stove
Nail clippers
2 pair socks
Zip locks
AquaMira
Journal Paper
Pens
Mini Swiss Army Knife
Map & Book sections
Misc First Aid ? blister pads, gauze, band aids, gold bond, antibiotic 
ointment
Food- Cooking Spices, 12 Enertia Dinners, Tea Bags, Powdered Milk, 
dehydrated stuff for dinner supplement, salt pepper packets from McDonalds
Extra Book
Shoe Laces

TP is super easy to come by in towns, either public bathrooms, hotel rooms 
or hiker boxes.

For resupply boxes I would just buy along the way.  Check out yogis book 
when you're at a large grocery store a few towns ahead of a 'smal town' stop 
and buy what you need to ship forward for the smaller town stops.
