What would you do to finance a Thru Hike?

[hikerboy57]

does it need to be one of my organs?
i am writing a book on how to hike the trail on $1000, but at $10 per copy i will need to sell 400 to hike the trail

sounds like youre using cafe math

I was going to go with selling an organ but then said "piss on it, fluids are just easier to sell roadside".

$10 PROFIT per book times 400 is $4000. i will need 4k to hike. i will be printing it on TP for dual use. the book is called "A Walk in the Woods with $1000" (it's fiction. dah, ya can't hike on 1k)

although you could go farther than bryson did on his walk.
have you thought of using 2 ply tp for the condensed version?

SURE I can! I'll just avoid towns and restaurants and hotels and hostels and I'm gonna hike 35 miles a day so it'll only take me 62 days so I won't need as much money or food and I won't have to buy new gear because it won't have time to wear out and I'm going to live on ramen noodles only and...uhhh...what's the other usual BS about doing a thru on the cheap?

[Sarcasm the elf]

The real question is: Would anyone cook meth in a porta-potty to finance a thru hike?

All that while collecting unemployement usually set's everyone off!

Work, be responsible, not live beyond my means, and eventually become financially comfortable enough to be able to afford it.....
daring huh?

That's crazy talk...

Who would be willing to take their chances with Oprah...

"You get a thru-hike! And you get a thru-hike! You are all getting a thru-hike!!!"

Then, I'd plant a big wet one on Oprah she wouldn't soon forget. Then, I'd tell her I have to purchase new UL gear. Let's see Oprah honey: I need a Cuben this, a Cuben that, I need some plane tickets, Arc Teryx jackets, Ibex shirts, etc Then, she'd say, "anything for you my precious." I don't care waht anyone says about O. I like her.

If only i paid more attention in chemistry, that could be the perfect solution

I suppose I'll have to settle for getting out of debt, squireling away the $, chicken-sitting allot, then quitting my job & going next year
