Those who really want to try to do foraging or self-sufficiency on  
the PCT are actually thinking about it completely wrong. Cultures  
that practiced nomadism often brought their food with them. If you  
were smart, you'd spend the off-season foraging and dehydrating  
edible plants and mushrooms that you found and hunt some fat large  
animals to make pemmican. Then you would have all the nutrition  
needed, nothing would slow down your hike and your purism about doing  
a fully-foraged hike would be preserved.
