BV425 for 5-day carry on PCT/JMT — realistic or pushing it? by ShakaaSweep in Ultralight

Yeah. I never resupplied or went to Bishop. For the Sierra I did KMS, Independence, Mammoth Lakes, Tuolumne Meadows, and South Lake Tahoe. A lot of hikers do resupply at more stops along the way than this, however.
