I know several hundred thruhikers - a lot of them PCT thruhikers - and I
don't know a single one who's used a horse packer for resupply.  That
would be contrary to the entire reason for thruhiking.  I think you
might want to apologize to a lot of thruhikers that you've insulted with
that statement.
