The short answer is: things cost money and other people are better at things that I suck at.
The more I look into other [read 'bigger'] expeditions I learn about how much they cost! Gear and food are just the tip of the iceberg. There is also transportation and guides, insurance and other legal items!
I am also learning that money is one of the main reasons that POC don't feel that being an outdoor adventurer is possible. Financial equity is huge! Especially when it comes to sponsors. We are coming into an age where more companies are willing to sponson women and people of color, but we have a long way to go!
Money is helpful (always and forever), but I will also be looking for folks that are talented in managing the back end of trips (emails, PR and such)! If any of you have tries to contact me via email, you already know that I'm not the best at getting around to them!
Drop me a line if you'd want to support!
