Dixie just posted a breakdown of what she bought to do the Grandma Gatewood hike. She ended up spending $600 on authentic 1950's gear. I think that she could have made the point with current items. She did not need 1950 jeans and shirt etc. Current cotton items would have proven the point at a much lower cost. It was not the fashion which was important but the fact that it was just off the shelf items. That being said I did enjoy the presentation as I do most of the rest of her offerings.
