>listening to some podcast and they mention touring across the us cost them like $10k
w...what? what the fuck did they spend it on?
i was planning on touring up the east coast of the us and back this summer but i am like fucking poor-poor, sub $10k/yr poor. i have a bike, racks, panniers, lights n stuff that i've just acquired from bike commuting and cycling for years. i also don't have a ton of money to spend on gear due to certain expenses either, i have about $2500 dollars until september after [mandatory] expenses.
how do i into camping for cheap, just used stuff? staying at hotels/airbnb is probably not going to be an option due to cost. i have never been camping in my life. just getting food at the grocery store should suffice i would imagine, don't really need to eat at restaurants or anything and I should be at least within range to gas stations or truck stops most of the time.
like what do i even need? small tent and bag, and what else? it's not like i need to cook, i can just eat cans of beans or whatever.
