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.
