Anyone know of a company that offers resupply services to thru-hikers?
Hike-USA used to have a program, but they have not responded to my emails. Are they still around?

Thanks,

Check out the "AT Re-Supply" article section on the lefthand side of the WhiteBlaze home page. Most hikers feel that with frequent access to towns/stores/post offices that a service isn't necessary.

I'll be thru-hiking the PCT. Asked on this site because Hike-USA caters mostly to AT thru-hikers.
Due to specific requirements I need a resupply service. Didn't need one on my AT thru-hike.

Someone on the straight forward forum was offering services from Texas, I think (I think it was AT but he might do it for the PCT). But it looks like the threads from 2006 were removed (?) Or are they archived somewhere?

If you haven't already stumbled across it, hop over to here for additional PCT info:

I ate better on the PCT last year than I did on my AT thru.

Unless you have specific health requirements that have changed since you did the AT, you don't really need one on the PCT either. If you don't have Yogi's guide, grab it, as it's very helpful. Most people do self resupply in the few places it's required and it's not that bad.
