Been trying to to research for an upcoming bike tour next year.
I've been trying to come up with how much I'll be spending a day. I heard $10 is a very possible and very cheap goal to shoot for. Or is that way to extreme?
As for accommodations, I plan to couchsurf, use hostels or stealth camp as much as possible. Only using Hotels when I'm desperate.
Food is something I'm very curious about. I know of some easy recipes with oats or lentils in them. Also heard powdered cheese or milk can be very useful. Still don't know how much this will cost me. For example you can buy 1 kilo of oats for $4. Not saying i'd carry 2 pounds of oats around for me, so lets half it and say $2 per 1 pound. That lasts me about 3 meals. 1 of these meals a day for a month, thats $4x10 So thats $40 a month for one ingredient for one meal of the day.
Am I on the right track for calculating all this or am I all wrong?
How did you go about doing this?
What are some of your favorite recipes? Most tasty, cheapest?
What are some must need ingredients I'll need to always have stocked with me?
How much weight should I be carrying in food?
Thanks in advance guys
