This can prove to be extremely useful - not just for people who want to do a thru hike, but for anyone attempting any major journey. The tips, as coming from someone having already been out there, are most valuable. They are basically gold when one actually gets to grasp their true worth.
You did a great analysis tracking your expenses. I have to take to heart walking an extra 2 miles a day plan. I thought CDT was 3K not the 28++ u used.
People generally refer to the CDT as 3000 miles, but it depends on the routes you choose or have to take (due to fires, etc). I tracked my actual mileage on my hike and used that for purposes of my data to make sure it was all accurate and the metrics hung together. Glad you found it useful!

@@hntrains2 thanks! Glad you found it of value!
I added up the costs of my hike too! It’s so interesting to compare, thank you for doing this!
I know right? I definitely could have spent less, but I enjoyed every penny of it! :-) thanks for the comment!
This is a really excellent, well-researched video. Thank you for taking the time to do it! Very helpful for my upcoming thru :)
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback and glad you found it helpful!
