Moss on How to Hike Cheap

Below are Moss' tips for hiking cheap:  

·        Spend less time in towns

·        Eat food you find in hiker boxes

·        Buy cheap stuff when grocery store is resupplying

·        Figure out all your gear choices beforehand and buy on sale

·        Hike with people who get huge mail drops of food - they will almost always have too much and will share with you!  

·        If you are going to mail yourself food anywhere, make sure it is only to places that do not have grocery stores, or only mail yourself food you can't buy there - it's pointless to pay shipping on stuff like oreos when you can buy them right down the street from the PO!
