I actually didn't think of this thread as "how cheap can I tour" ... but then I don't think of touring in that way.
"Realistic" for me, includes restaurant meals, hotels and B&Bs, alternate methods of transportation, and spending money for things I'd like to see and do. These things might not happen every day, but a couple times a week is good.
And "realistic" for me does not include any bush camping. If I camp, I want to camp in a decent campground. So "realistic" for me also includes the cost of camping.
I also like to eat quite well ... I'm not an oatmeal and brown beans sort of tourist/traveller. So "realistic" for me includes fruit and veg and yogurt and cheese and pastries and ice cream ......
