I see you just joined WB - Welcome!:welcome Before you started these threads, did you search the existing forums, threads, and articles? There's an article about resupplying plus umpteen threads where this subject (maildrops) has been beaten to death.

Click on "Forum" at the menu above and search around. You'll find the discussions on mail drops and lots of other info. Another forum to look at is "Thru=hiker Qs & As."

Wait, I thought the question was "Do you know how long cheese stays fresh on the trail?" or "Which cheese is best for the trail". Gosh, I must be behind again. Guess I had better go for another hike.

I thought we already covered the long cheese vs short cheese debate.
It is generally not a good idea to use maildrops for transportation of cheese, short or long.
