- I'm not going to go to every post office/town along the way to ask if they have any post. I may not even go into town at all if I have enough food to make it to the next one. Nor am I going to walk back a few days to pick up mail I missed. It is for this reason that surprise packages won't work. You can let me know by emailing "hikertrash@stanton.net.nz". This address will change as soon as the spammers find it so check this page just before sending the email.
- One of the most important things to remember is to tell me that there is something to pick up and if it is letter sized or package sized. If it is brightly coloured and easily visible then that's even better.
- I have to carry everything with me or send it home, and some places are pick-up only so I might have to bin it. As Yogi says "If you send cute little stuffed animals, or toys, or books, I'll have to turn around and mail those home, 'cause I can't take them on the trail with me".
- Since the dates are only estimates it is a good idea to send things with enough time to arrive a week early. It's possible I'll walk faster than I have estimated but in reality I'm more likely to slip in a few zero days and push the schedule out. I really don't expect to finish in mid-September
- When addressing the box/letter start it with "Hold for PCT Hiker: Craig Stanton ETA: (date)", that way they know to put it in the pile of mail for the dirty tramp-like people with sleeping mats, worn out and facial hair (a.k.a hiker trash).
- Don't use FedEx and make sure I don't have to sign for it.
