After a minor panic attack yesterday, today Ellie and I decided to make lists of all the items we will need for our trip. We divided it into several different categories and only after finishing it, did we realize how much we need to get. We also realized that all together the supplies would cost several hundreds of dollars. Due to our lack of money, we are hoping to ask to borrow some of the items and we are also going to look to buy secondhand.
Due to the fact that there is virtually no vegetation yet, we have abandoned our plan to collect food. Since we feel that it is kind of "cheating" to buy all of our food, we are setting a series of guidelines for our shopping. We can buy as much food as we can within a $15 budget, however, everything must be whole foods, things we don't particularly like, and non perishable. With these qualifying factors, we will put to test our abilities to survive on very little.
Below is a picture of our handwritten planning from today.
I love the way you and Ellie problem-solved within some defined limitations for your food issue--it sounds like a challenge still, and I really appreciate that!
