Ran into an old thru-hiker at a gas station who told me I was overplanning my PCT resupply
He said just mail yourself a box of instant mashed potatoes and peanut butter every 200 miles and stop worrying about town stops, which honestly made me rethink my whole spreadsheet approach after 3 years of armchair planning, has anyone else done the minimalist resupply thing and actually survived?

Ngl that instant mashed potatoes trick is older than dirt and it gets old real fast. You need some real calories out there or you'll bonk hard by mile 150.

You try eating instant potatoes for a month straight? @cameron763 is right, my buddy hiked for two weeks on that and quit.
