You won't regret it  Plan to consume about 5,000 calories a day if you are hiking 20+ miles. Looks like some pretty rugged mountainy tree terrain for a good part of it on the western end, and maybe some high desert? for a good long stretch? I imagine there's bears up there too so pack accordingly.. totally unfamiliar with that area though.

Whoa weird that you say that I just remmembered I had a dream that a bear man walked pass me and then had three bears walk around m to see if I would break and show weakness. Almost went lucid for a second too.
I figured Id need 4000+ calories, and the longest stretch from leavenworth to wellington is 38 miles but its along a highway and is against a lake for most of it. So im not too worried about water for that stretch.

You have a reliable method for filtering/purifying water? I'd say you could do it in ~2 weeks.

Im buying As much as I can next paycheck. and then the rest the check after that. Im planning in doing this in 12 weeks so it should be pretty warm out also.
I pretty much am using your ultimate survival threads as a primer and going from there.
I may be a bit experienced but I refuse to continue to deny the urges to fucking move that have been with me as long as I can remember.

Just be sure to practice with weight on your back. 
The way I suggested would give you a nice place to camp too. It is mostly flat until you get to the other side where you climb to get to the 2. Just bring enough food & water for 2-3 nights, and you should be able to rough it to Skykomish. (EDIT: Or Wellington, but that's back tracking slightly at that point.)
The whole trip sounds pretty fun, dude.

vast majority of it would be high deserts, until you got to the cascades, then there'd be a tree or two... million....

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.
