[pct-l] Foot care question and how many days between resupply?

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

Anti-monkey butt powder is nice and 3 days between resupplies is just  
right. Anything longer than 5 days and my food was too heavy and too  
big for my pack. You will be shocked how much you will be eating  
after a while. I'm just a little lady, too. My 6'5" friend hauled  
30lbs of food on his resupplies through the High Sierra. He'd eat a  
whole salami and brick of cheese in one snack.
