Do a lot of people make their own meals, pack them up and mail them to various points along the trail for pick up, or do you prefer to just buy supplies every week as you go along? I'm trying to figure out what would be most cost effective. I've been playing with making dehydrated meals, and am fairly sure I could do this, but postage has got to be a bear! Also, How often do you stop to resupply, or how many days of food do you tend to carry.I'm trying to figure out how I should space my stops for mail drops, or resupply. I will be finding out some of this through experience this summer as I go on a couple 2 week hikes, but getting an idea from experienced hikers is even bettter!
