On a website full of smart @$$es this is the greatest reply ever! Well done sir.
You can save a lot of money on resupply by begging other hikers for food and supplies. A lot of times if you follow a hiker and hound them constantly they will give you something just to get you to go away. A good tactic is to offer to sell something that every hiker knows you need and can't afford to get rid of, like your sleeping bag...tell them you are that desperate for money and they will just think "how pathetic" and give you some money. You'll want to keep changing your trail name because word will get around quickly. Whatever you do, never offer to work for the money. Setting that kind of precedent will mean you will have to work your way up the whole trail. And talk a lot about Jesus...people really eat that crap up.
