David,
Another thing to consider with your Resupply strategy is how comfortable you
are with hitching. I don't hitch very often and therefore don't resupply at
every opportunity which means I carry a bit more food/gear.

Hey Guys!

      I am starting to look at gear and set my resupply points. I would love
to get your thoughts on specific gear (brand and make) what worked for you
and whatnot - Pack, Shoes/boots, shelter, bag/quilt, (snowshoes/ice axe
- do I need them?), whatever other pertinent gear you think I need! Any
thoughts on what is better in your opinion Lok sacks or a bear can?

Also, any advice on setting resupply points? Right now I am using Craig's
PCT planner to get a rough outline of my mileage/dates and using that info
to look at where I will be research the town and set my resupply points.

Overall, I tend to overwork things and don't want to do that but I have 6
months. So I am trying to figure out what to focus on. Right now it is gear,
the pacing I expect and my budget. Any other thoughts will be super helpful!

Thanks,
     David
