- "There's no need to carry more than a week's food on most parts of the A.T. Thru-hikers typically leave the Trail periodically to resupply in nearby towns. Some ship food parcels ahead to post offices, hostels, and businesses near the Trail; others buy food along the way. Many hikers employ a combination of the two methods." - A.T. Preparation
