Trail Hiking
How can you save money while hiking the Appalchian Trail?
My dad and I plan on hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2013 but money has always been tight and we’re trying to hang on to our house, but with my dad not working for six months we’re worried we won’t be able to pay the rent. Any ideas on how to save money, and would you spend more money hiking the Trail or staying at home?
if you’ve got financial worries, now probably isn’t the time to be hiking the AT. you would be spending somewhere around $4,000 for two people to thru-hike, and that doesn’t even consider having to pay bills at home for six months.
as you plan for the trip, there will be people who tell you that you can do work-for-stay as you go. and while it is possible to get that here and there, it covers a very small overall percentage of your costs.
this is why the biggest two population groups on the Trail are college-age kids and retirees, because nobody else really has the time or money to do that kind of thing.
