I was on a trip in Oregon on the PCT this Sept and ran into more through hikers than day hikers. Through as in Mexico to Canada. They have an amazingly similar routine. They carry light packs and eat bars, and Ramen noodles. Then every 5-7 days go off trail to gorge on food in town and re-supply. They have a schedule and spend time with a cell phone making arrangements for rooms and rides.
I hate having a schedule. My longest trips have only been 10 days, but I never re-supply. If I ever go on a long trip I am bringing a donkey or at least a couple of llamas.
