Is anyone budgeting there money or just going footloose and fancy free. I was thinking $200 a week and a thousand a month. The extra bit a month is for the ATs insatiable appetite for shoes. I should have at lest six months worth because the last time I tried in '05 I got to PA and found I only had $800 left. That was it between that and the heat I was done. It might have been that my pack weighed 5 lbs my tent was 4 lbs my sleeping bag was 4 lbs and my stove had a pump put it all together and it weighed 38 lbs. Now I carry more stuff but it only weighs 18 lbs and it is still called Monkey.
I would happy to hear what y'all are budgeting to do the trail. I don't really needed to know how much money you got just what you think you will need.
