I know - I - couldn't do it for $1 a mile.  When I did the AT in '07 I spent
$3500 - I'm planning on spending ever more for the PCT.   Someone I a was
talking to said they were going to attempt a thru hike for $1000.  I told
them I thought it was impossible for under $2000 -- But then I started to
have second thoughts - gee maybe somebody has done a very low cost thru.
That's why I asked, just wanted to now how low someone could do it for.

My actual cost of a thru is much higher than my on trail expenses. Just the
loss of income for 5-6 months is an order of magnitude greater than what I
would spend out on the trail.
