You should reconsider the crowd fund/supported interest in it.
As if you combine it with the video showing how you manage the day to day, going a less meme version of Survivor Man? (Don't drink your own piss) Might have a good time with the Para-Social connection.
You can talk about what brought you to the hike, show the sights, share your thoughts, and maybe inspire other men.
Also if no one pays for it? You didn't miss out on anything. You can do the Roth anyways and know for certain.

You are in the middle of a time when it seems as hopeless as it has ever been for the human species. You need to rediscover your awe. While you prep for this? Junk out on Jason Silva videos. He might resonate with the need for awe, for something bigger. Then you go, see the 2650 miles, and find the next new thing for your bucket list.

Also? You could see about getting someone to get a grant to document the journey. Look into treating it as a documentary about the hike itself. Getting someone who's job it is to film the journey and what it takes to get there. End up on Amazon as a documentary subject/filmmaker?

Plan it out. Do it. Film it regardless. Get the drone footage while you're there. And don't self-delete until it's done. You have a goal, a North Star with this. Do it.

Tough dad talk time: Get a techincal degree (STEM), or specialize in a trade (carpentry/plumbing/etc.) if college is not for you. It needs to be something that is in demand, and will be, for the forseeable future . Then do all that stuff you want, just later when you can support yourself.

You are still pretty young, which means by default, still myopic in life experience. Cant remeber where I read it, but you need to have 3 key things in life: A Profession, a Business, and a Hobby. Above all else, you need to be able to provide for yourself. Get the tough shit over with now, or you are doomed to fall into a trap of complacency as you get older. It's not what you want to hear, but it's what you need to hear.

Having a fallback plan is an absolute, as a man. Nobody is going to catch you when you fall. Nobody goes through engineering/medical/etc. school purely for the feeling of impact they will make on the world lol. Financial solvency is the only thing that will consistently help you in life.

Your drone piloting/adventure channel sounds like a great segway into your Business(es). Continue to work on that while you also work on your Profession.

Don’t go into this looking for a hike to solve all your problems... go into it too just enjoy the hike and the solitude... also look into sub contracting work for experienced drone operators... I’d imagine there would be a small market ie cell towers, radio towers, damns, sky scrapers, bridges etc... anything tall and difficult/dangerous to access that would need to be inspected from time to time

You’re going to get thrown out after COVID protections end, going on a hike is not the answer. Early 20s is not the time for bucket list/vacations, it’s the time to get your shit together so you can do that shit later. The timing isn’t interchangeable, work now so that you can do your bucket list in your late 30s, you can’t do it backwards because people that are 35 with 0 work experience don’t get jobs that are worth a fuck.

Go watch Aaron Clareys YouTube channel, any of his asshole consulting videos would do you a world of good.

Perhaps going through this experience will show you that the answers to your questions have always been within you to begin with. I would not oppose finding that by yourself. You may still self-correct afterwards in retrospect. We, men, have a tendency to want to learn the hard way anyway.

have a commercial Drone License from the FAA and a Sony a7R3

thru hike of the PCT to find myself

Was into watching VLogs some years ago about AT/PCT thru-hikes. I think getting drone footage of some key places on the hike would really stand out. But maybe that has been done before. Also, you need to carry the thing and find spots to charge the batteries.
