Infrastructure and logistics are always the biggest hurdles with long trails. Resupply along the AT is made a little easier by its popularity. And while there are FarOut guides for just about every trail, it doesn’t really help when the most logical resupply is a 40 minute hitchhike to a dollar store.
The solution is an app like Uber Eats, but for remote locations to drop off supplies. Drivers/suppliers accept the job weeks in advance. They could be given an explicit list of items, or mailed a package ahead of time. It would be expensive, but solve some serious issues with long hikes.
