One of the questions I get asked most frequently is how I am able to take all of this time off. Whether it was the PCT and AT in 2014, the CDT in 2015, or this coming extended travel I have planned. The short answer is, a lot of hard work saving, along with a good amount of discipline and acceptance of ‘delayed satisfaction’, something I see my generation often lacking.
I wrote a price about this for my good friends at Katabatic. You can check it out below, and hopefully start planning for your next big adventure!

One Who Cannot 
I really respect that you wrote an article about how to financially plan for taking time off to hike. So many people don’t talk about this aspect. I also think it’s really important to put money away for retirement too, and to include that into the budget for taking time off so you don’t get behind.
Well done and happy hiking!
Keep the eclipse in Argentina in mind, July 2, if you are there.
