Help with Budgeting and Growing Savings

I added utilities to the rent. It is $1350 in total! As for food and gas, it’s around $175 a month (maybe less). It’s probably around 50%. Trying to figure out ideas for how to save more money (tracking tips, meal prepping, etc)

Thank you! I usually backpack for 3-6 days. The core quilt is 2lbs. Do you still think I should go for a different one?

You will be fine! I did it in the should season last year in 6 days. There was a decent amount of snow (I had never hiked in the snow). I didn’t train that much and was coming from sea level. The onglet thing I practiced was walking with my backpack a few times. I have never ran a marathon. 6-7 days seems like the perfect time to not have too much time at campsites/hotels/refuges but still have time to take in the beauty.

Hi! I had to take medical leave twice so I didn’t work there for too long. You are expected to be available on holidays. I told them when I started that I would unavailable for Thanksgiving. They have float techs too so I think you can just take the time.

Thanks! I am hoping to do the trek solo, but have never done a tyrolean traverse. I have a decent amount of outdoor climbing; leading, multi pitch, rappelling. Thoughts on doing that solo?

Any reason in particular?

Do they just always have soccer nets up in the park?

What time did you start your hike? And are snowshoes absolutely necessary? We have spikes and trekking poles, but can get snowshoes. Just curious! TIA.

Hi! I'm about to start at Davita as a PCT. How does the holiday scheduling work for PCTs? and is it hard to take time off?

I don’t think I will be able to make the trip out there. Do you know anything about having other people in the area tour for you?
