>>883576the vast majority of thru-hikers are going to be on trails where commercial resupply is a viable option.
there are exceptions, but they're proportionally insignificant enough to be irrelevant. like when talking about the local price of gas, sure, a very very small minority of people have race cars that need racing gas, but nobody considers that to be a needed reference point.
and even taking those outliers into consideration, you schlepping around in the woods for a couple weeks still isn't thru-hiking. sorry that hurts your feelings so much.
