I think once you cut costs as far as you can, it's now time to try  
making a little extra money. In '08 one of the hikers had a ukulele.  
He was playing it for fun outside a grocery store (he's really  very  
good) and someone handed him a $20! If you lack musical talent,  
perhaps you have talent with words, cardboard and a sharpie. Or maybe  
you can sell your unwanted gear along the way instead of sending it  
home. Maybe you can get others to pay you to do their laundry.  
Perhaps you can just engage in some basic capitalism and buy some  
mutual funds or something.
