The tent hammock I bought was $260 but now all I need are two trees to stay the night outdoors. And my kayak was $400 used.

When I kayak I put my bike where I plan to get out and then drive to the top and kayak down to my bike; then I ride back to my car and then go back to get the kayak. All and all it makes for a fun couple of hours.

Climbing can be cheap too once you know what you are doing, you just need a friend to belay you.

But the snowboarding is expensive, no way really around that. And yes Money does buy GAL. But the fact I used to have to travel with 4 and now I travel with 1 is kind of a game changer, for better or worse.
