we have bought almost everything that we need for our trip second hand.
The only new Item of my biking kit was my Helmet. I also bought my bike second hand when it was a year and half old and had done less then 3000 miles , it was fully kitted out and I saved £2500 on the cost of a new bike. I bought the best tent I could back in 2004 and it's still perfect. What ever you need ,if you shop around and have a bit of cheek and ask for discount, it works most of the time. I never ask for owt for nowt... I don't like free loading. I may be a tight yorkshire man but I,m not a free loader

Not saving, but tax refund.
For a 12 month trip "on leave", if you depart/stop working by the end of June, you would get the maximum undully paid taxes back for that year (refund), and when coming back and working again, you would pay the fewer, since it is a propotional system (the more you earn in the year, the more you pay, so you split 1 year revenues in 2 halves and pay much less). Can be done any other month, but this way you would maximize it.
Worst scenario: you leave on 1st January (pay full taxes for your revenues during the previous year and 100% again when you come and start to work). So, don't forget to ask four your taxes back! (I sort of tried to explain it in this thread, although not very successfully  , so fiscal experts please correct me).

Great ideas! The problem with the ebay selling for me is that all the money goes into my paypal account which I re-spend on ebay
 Equating daily purchases with something like "that cup of coffee just cost me 50 miles of travel" or "those new shoes just cost me a border crossing" or "that dinner out just cost me a week of beach camping" etc... Do it yourself can save more than you think. Brewing my own  saves me almost 1000 USD per year. Cooking meals at home can save thousands.

Understand to fix factors yourself. If you have a car, buy the publication and do all your own maintenance. Understand how a model performs, then fix that when it smashes.

how to make money quickly for long term travel
Step 1. Get a working visa for Canada
Step 2. Get a resources job (mining, logging, oil rigging, pipelining, oil sands, ect). Most of these jobs pay a good base rate, work 12 hour shifts (4 hours of that is time and a half) and pay you a living out allowance. For example I worked on an oil rig with no relevant experience for $29/hour starting and made $5000 after taxes every two weeks
