WOW, everyone is being very mean and oblivious to the needs of our millennials. Thankfully, there is an organization that has been established to help with the truly needy such as the OP. Enjoy.

[QUOTE=Deadeye;2184450]That organization is called the Army, established long ago! This young man could learn a few things about the outdoors, and life, if he were to join up.

If the OP doesn’t like his job, wants to learn some skills, travel and hike, then this sounds like a better option. Afterwards he can go wherever he wants and spend what he likes.
I'm just as unimpressed with the gratuitous broadbrush biased comments about an entire group of Americans as I am with the OP's very first post to WB.

"[ATers] represent three percent of our use and about twenty percent of our effort," retired Baxter Park Director Jensen Bissell.
Anyone else conside Gofundme and similar sites as something akin to begging?
I'll be the first to admit that I'm woefully underfunded compared to the usual thru-hiker. Nothing I can do about it so might as well head up trail and deal with the hassles as they come about. But if I'm 100% broke down to the bottom I sure as hell would try to arrange for loans rather than beg.
I’ve seen a lot of people hiking with even less resources. Nice try.
OP must have really believed all that "nonsense" about "the trail will provide". My advice is work a second job and save more money. Learn some lessons about discipline and commitment before you take the first step. Good luck.
