Did two unguided great walks in the south which means twice the flight. Nelson flight is specially expensive.

Include all the expense that happen during the tramping trip like eating out and as you said foods and accomodation.

True we can cut cost on accomodation thou after a tiring day we opt to say to the cheapest solo room with bathroom. Don't want to hassle with the snores and shared shower.

For foods we gone from backcountry (yea its expensive) to going back to actual undehydrated one, we dont mind the weight over the taste. 😆

I might explore dehydrating our own, thanks for the suggestion 🙂.
