    Pocket coin pouch for those EU coins?

    I love this little coin purse. It is waterproof, holds just enough coins to remind me to spend them before it gets "too heavy", and fits perfectly in my backpack hip belt. I got mine from Amazon.

    How to wash a back pack?

    You might want to ask the person you borrowed the pack from, they may have their own idea of how they want to wash their backpack. I always disassemble all the loose pieces of my pack (I also take pictures before I disassemble it.) I make sure the buckles and straps are cinched, toss it in the...

    The Lush shampoo bar review thread

    I like this brand for Caminos and travel. Kept it in little mesh bag to dry out … https://jrliggett.com/bar-shampoo.html Worked well for hair, body, laundry … I tried the Original and Herbal. As for Lush, they are great about giving free samples for you to try out ;)

    Question about Altras

    I Love Altra shoes. I switched to the Timp style after the Lone Peaks were updated with a narrower toe box. I wore Altra Lone Peak for 2 Caminos, and will be wearing the Timp on the Norte this coming May. I never had any transition issues with the zero drop. I am female, 60 yrs with D width feet.

    To people who walked the Camino in Trail Runners

    I will be walking in May 2016 and have been training in the Altra Lone Peak 2.5. So far my feet are liking them ... such a relief to have room for my wide toe box!! I did go up a whole size ... Hope they continue to feel great. Thanks to others for posting about this option of trail runners...

    Shampoo/conditioner

    Wow, I am most fortunate with my long hair it seems. I never realized how much difficulty other women had with their hair. I simply shampoo mine every two days let it air dry, once it is almost dry I do a quick brush, no tangles. It comes out silky, shiny and slightly wavy .. then I forget about...

    Sleeping Bag?

    I will be walking in May and have been researching temperatures for that time and also reading the forums. I know I sleep cold so decided to upgrade my older, heavier backpacking bag for a lighter one specifically made for women. The new one is down, rated for 32 degrees and weighs under 2 lbs...
