A lot of prep can go into a 2,650 mile hike! I thought it would be fun to go through some of that and take a look at the food I am starting my Pacific Crest Trail thru hike with, my 9 resupply boxes that I am sending myself, and my all time favorite dinner.

I leave for the PCT in less than 2 weeks so I have been scrambling to prepare everything for this 3 - 4 month long hike. One of the largest of tasks was getting resupply boxes together, packages of food that I am sending to small towns that otherwise don't have a grocery store to buy food from. I am sending myself 9 of these packages to these locations...

- Paradise Valley Cafe - Most hikers go into Idyllwild instead so you don't need a package here
- Kennedy Meadows
- Tuolumne Meadows - If you went into Mammoth you may not need this box either
- Donner Pass
- Castella
- Mazama Village
- White Pass
- Stevens Pass
- Stehekin

I don't really think boxes are super necessary, as there really is an abundance of towns along the way. But if you have a dietary restriction, if you want to hike very cheaply, or if you want to hike very fast I think they can be nice. Still it is a ton of work, and a risky thing to spend so much money on food, before you've even left for the trail.

I personally like boxes because it helps me to spend less time in towns, which both can make my hike quicker overall, but also helps me spend less money. I would not recommend doing a ton of these packages if you are newer to thru hiking.
