[pct-l] Supported vs unsupported

[Donna "L-Rod" Saufley]

I would agree with this definition, though the point has been argued many times.  Some even classify someone mailing resupply packages from home "support."  So, until there's some type of authority who makes the rules, it can potentially mean many different things. I for one am grateful that there isn't this type of authority or regulation on the PCT.

>In my mind unsupported means you don't have set people helping you but you can still hitch in for resupplies, accept gatorade from a trail angle, etc.  When I think of supported, I think of someone meeting you at virtually every road crossing, allowing you to slackpack the majority of the trail.
