Hah, yes, perhaps I should say that I would need to spend $1,000/month to have a good time. For context, I had never camped a day in my life before setting out on my hike (I didn't even camp out a single night as a test run with my gear before flying out). So I was pretty green, and definitely not a tough lad. :)

I have seen others recommend a budget of $500/month as a reasonable amount.
