Buy used gear. Start small and add to your gear and the length of your trips along the way. You’d also be surprised how inventive you can be, ie tarps and paracord vs a tent and using old plastic take out containers instead of fancy camping containers. My brother in law has a $20 titanium camping fork and could have saved his money using the free plastic utensils you get at fast food places.
Cant answer. Depends on where/when you’re going somewhere. You want backpack but stay in hostel? You need price for backpack and stay in Canadian tire dome tent in a campground somewhere?
Depends a lot on the gear you have and the location. I was in the boy scouts so I invested in gear. We did weeklong backpacking trips in the Sierra Nevada mountains where there was no camping fees so pretty much just the food and supplies

I did it, and a lot of my friends did it as well.
We got working holiday visas and stayed in backpacking hostels. It was pretty cheap.

Cost is what you make it.

Proper Planning and budgeting.
By backpacking, do you mean traveling in Asia for a month, or going camping while carrying all your gear?
Youth hostel pricing in an European city: 35€ bed & breakfast + 5€ single night stay +5€ geezer fee, if you are 28+. 3 meals a day: + 15€.
My rough calculation: flight + guesstimated 100€ / day, for Europe. – If you spend a little less: Come back sooner!
