My kids and I have been section hiking several years and typically go for 7 days. In order to maximize our time on the trail we carried all 7 days worth of food. Now that we are farther away from home we are going out for 14 days and cannot carry all that much food. We are going to do mail drops and buy as we go both of which require going into town. Hiking in/out town can be time consuming depending upon the distance and I'm concerned about hitchhiking with them.
What have people done to resupply while hiking with kids (hitch or walk)?
