I've thought a lot about this and I've come to a conclusion.

Unless you're actually hiking somewhere that you CAN'T resupply, it's a STUPID idea.

Quick easy plan to take all enjoyment out of hiking:
- start with an excruciatingly heavy pack
- hike beyond your limits every day
- eat the least amount of food possible

Sounds good to me.

Gardenville makes a very good point. When you are testing your limits it is important to have multiple exit points. Obviously it helps if the resupply points aren't staring you in the face. I haven't done the AT so I don't know what it's like. How far off the trail are the resupply points? Can you smell the cheeseburgers? That would do me in for sure. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
