[pct-l] Our Resupply strategy

[Paul Robison]

Kevin,

exactly,  Column E is "box for X miles" and column F is "box for X days"  ... 
obviously we start slow like 11 miles a day,  and work up to 22 before hitting 
KM and dropping back to 15.  we made it purposefully easy to beat our goals, so 
we will have more food instead of less most likely.  


some places a box is a physical box,  other places it's boxing up food from a 
grocery store on sight.  we'd love to do mroe buy as we go's,  but were 
dissapointed with the gas stations food we saw last year.

nice to hear others have similar resupply strat.  

for fuel availability,  did you get the info. from yogi's guide?

~Paul

Thanks for sharing Outpost.

So if column G says buy, does column F indicate how many days you're buying? I 
think it does, but i want to confirm. I'm including the whole list in case 
anyone else has the same question.

Your spreadsheet looks shockingly similar to mine! ;)
I'm not doing any sections cold, and I don't have a "days since start" column. I 
do have additional columns to indicate if there are fuel, showers, or laundry 
available, and whether to use UPS vs USPS.
