Years ago I posted in /trv/ and here about wanting to do touring, with making the tour of Europe. I worked for 6 years at some IT position, got a few thousands saved and after doing a first 800km tour in France, I'm leaving in 5 days for the big trip. ~8500 to 9000 km, 7-8 months, budget : 3k€ for the bikes, between ~500 to 1000€for the gear (tent, stove, pan, some clothes, panniers etc.) and 10k€ for the year spent outside. Mostly bivouacking, but we have a budget to get hostels in big cities as we want a place to store our stuff, take a shower, and be able to visit around most big cities.
Kind of made it thanks to the advices grabbed in those threads so that's just me thanking you all bastards for sharing a nice hobby with all of us.
Pic related, my bike in January when I wanted to test my gear during a -5°C temps with snow on my tent in the morning. I'll try to come by here once in a while. I managed to have a 230GB internet plan for all the Europe for 20€ somehow + dynamo and decent external battery
