I specifically want to hear from female thru-hikers on the AT- What did you do about resupply? I figure hitching with a guy makes it easier for both parties, but what did you do on resupply days? Did you purposefully wait for a male thru hiker to come by? or a female thru-hiker? Did you hitch alone? Plan ahead? Bring mace? Any sort of commentary on the logistics of getting to town safely would be appreciated.
