Ive added a full description of the mileages and towns plus the places you would resupply, be sure to hit that like button and Subscribe for more content similar to this.

Roosevelt lake was a great resupply spring 2022. The “hiker-shed” had a good selection of hiker-box options and the shed was open for charging electronics. The gals in the restaurant/bar even let me top off my phone on the register after the sun went too low for the solar power at the shed. They also have a thru-hiker camping area off to the side by the shed. They do charge a $10 holding fee for your box if you send one, but I thought that was reasonable to ensure a full food bag for the next several days. All together, I was real pleased with the friendliness and services the marina folks provided

Im glad they have changed, in 20 and 21 it was a mess

@janicekennah1824 Год назад

Thank you very much for this info! It is much appreciated.

@calveshikes Год назад

You're very welcome, thanks for the feedback. I have a few other videos on the AZT and plan to add a couple more. Calves

Very helpful. Thx.

Your welcome, i am actually going to be posting a new one as some things have changed now. Should be in a week or so subscribe to get notified when it does. Be well

Calves! Good to see your face again. Great info on the AZT. We’ll be looking to start the trail in early March if the winter weather is friendly. Peace

@calveshikes 9 месяцев назад

Hey Reaper! Ill be assisting AZT Nobos in March if you need a ride tot the terminus to start let me know.

@reaper_hikes 9 месяцев назад

I’ll definitely take you up on it. I’m not sure I should send personal information but maybe I’ll message you on instagram….

Hey Stefan, thanks for all the valuable info. I went to Coronado High School and then on to ASU back in the day; I'm in San Diego now. I have a few JMT's to my name but haven't earned my stripes as a 'through hiker' yet. Have my eyes on the AZT. I am wanting to supply my entire hike with boxes so I really appreciate this video. I am wondering, since I can't ship ISO fuel for my pocket rocket stove, what would you advise me to do if I hope to rehydrate a meal each night? Aside from the REI in Flagstaff, finding fuel in these little towns looks doubtful.

@calveshikes Год назад

Patagonia, tuscon, kearny, Flagstaff, south rim and north rim all have gas canister for sale

@mattjones5105 3 месяца назад

Your videos have been exactly what ive needed dor information. Maybe youve said it in another video but im curious, when you say "light resupply, moderate resupply, full resupply, top off" what things other than water and food do you find yourself neededing? Just wondering about your rate of consumption for things and what generally you pick up on a top off or light resupply vs a full resupply. Appreciate any info

@calveshikes 3 месяца назад

I eat 3000 + calories per day. So try to achieve that number is my goal. A top off means just to grab a small amount of things to continue to a larger store that will have a full resupply meaning a store with everything like a walmart. A moderate resupply means they have a small selection of items for purchase. What each person eats is truly different. Im cheap so i buy with that in mind. CALVES

@mattjones5105 3 месяца назад

@calveshikes thank you. Planning to do a northbound this time next year. I also like to operate efficiently so cheap is good!

@AndyNiekamp Год назад

Great video. Very helpful. For the towns you mention do you have your preferred road crossing, trailhead or way to get into those towns? From the FarOut app it looks like some towns have multiple access points.

@calveshikes Год назад

If you want to get into Oracle i wouldnt do american flag trailhead, i would do highway 77 mile 208 and for payson i wouldnt do mile 385 on highway 87. I would hitch in at Pine, Arizona at mile 456 (much easier and trail angels available to help)

@calveshikes Год назад

If there is a town your referring to specifically let me know. I put the two that have options farout will set you up for failure on this trail, i find its best to have a altenate offline map, like maps.me so you can see where everything is thats not on farout/ guthooks

@calveshikes Год назад

Id highly recommended downloading a offline app like maps.me so u can find everything off trail. GUTHOOKS stinks for this

@brandyrosemolatore6751 Год назад

Where would you absolutely send a box. I’m trying to re supply as I go as much as possible.

@calveshikes Год назад

Mormon lake, there is nothing there. I've also would consider is roosevelt marina, if your not keen to hitch to punkin center for the dollar general. And another option would be south rim. I've been lucky each time and they were fully stocked but if you hit them on a down week it could be difficult to resupply. Thats my thoughts. Mormon lake 100% u will need a box

@PatriceLapointe-pf7ih Год назад

Can I sen a box to summerhaven?

@calveshikes Год назад

Maybe, try calling the general store and see if they will let you send a box. There is also a post office but dont know the hours and I would assume they will be limited
