Well, Im not into making my own Jerky. I do see the attraction. Also see the point of buying what you find in each town. But there is mail drop box's I will send along the way. One of you said your original 30 mail drops was over kill. 6 is enough. Where is that information to know which 6 best spots for a maildrop?

ABout getting sick of food...I see that being stuck in some remote place for months. But in my normal every day life I pretty much eat the same stuff daily lol. Same oatmeal in the morning. Same snack bars. Same salads. Green Smoothie daily for lunch. But the point is along the AT trail, dont you stop into towns every 4 to 5 days to resupply and spend a night? Go out for dinner then breakfast...
