Use google.  For example:

Typical length of resupply on the PCT is 5-7 days of hiking (4-6 nights
on the trail).  The major exception of this is the High Sierra where
some hikers choose to do a 10-11 day resupply between Kennedy Meadows
and VVR.

IMHO, Yogi's PCT Handbook is the best source of information on
resupply options and strategies (mail, purchase, combo).
