These are my totals from my 2014 hike

Food

I could probably of cut my food bill down a bit but then there was a fair amount of beer in that total as i was so amazed with all the micro breweries that they had to be sampled , These costs also have gas or butane costs in

Postage Costs

Again i could of possible shaved $100 off of this, being green at the beginning i sent myself stuff i didn’t need . Also as i am from the UK i was also a tourist and my mother loves to receive postcards

Town Costs

Being unorganized at first i often got to town late missing the post office, so then had to wait till Monday, costing me more in accommodation, food and beer costs
