[pct-l] New Wanna-be Thru-hiker

[chiefcowboy at verizon.net]

I agree with Gary and Diane (who, by the way IS a "seasoned thru hiker"). 
Trying to thru hike with no money or savings is ridiculous.  The trip is 
difficult enough with funding but having to forage for food will make it 
near impossible.  That is not to say that folks on a budget can't try it, 
but some sort of funding should be in place.

Well, I agree with Diane. It'll be almost impossible to thruhike with no 
money and no savings. I don't think she was talking shit, just talking 
reality. You might be thruhiking, but you still need food, clothing and 
shelter. If you spend your time hunting, fishing and making clothing out of 
deerhide, you'll have very little time for hiking.
