I don't believe that the OP is not able to afford the tour he wants to go on.....I had the same question before I went on tour. One just wants to wrap his head around costs, and identify what the normal is: Food, drink, camping, misc. When I toured across Canada, 72 days, $5,900= $82/day. Misc repairs, like a chain, cassette, a cable replacement, $200. I camped every night in campgrounds, and I had 3 meals a day-breakfast and dinner prepared at the campground, lunch usually stopped for soup and a salad, sometimes stopping for ice cream 3-4 times a day, and Gatorade when it was really freakin hot humid. There were a few days that I took PBnJ sandwiches for snacks and lunch-but I grew tired of those really quick. Had an absolute blast and I am looking forward to splurging on myself again next year going to the Arctic Circle!
