Depends on how adventurous you are and how down and dirty you're willing to go. For clothes, its probably cheaper to buy what you need over here. Bring extra underwear, socks and an extra pair of shoes. I can't tell you how many times clean dry underwear and socks turned a terrible day into a bearable day. Bring deodorant as you may not be able to shower for days on end. Bring a hat for 2 reasons, one it'll keep you cool and it'll keep you looking reasonably presentable if you don't get a haircut for a few weeks. People are more willing to help you if you look more presentable, so don't look homeless.
Honestly, party less and spend that money on eating better or on necessities you may need along the way. You can't afford to get sick because you want to save a little bit by going cheap. If you're backpacking, you'll be on your feet a lot so you're going to be hungry. Most importantly, have an exit strategy in case any happens and you have to leave immediately.
