    Stage 28

    Does anyone have good advice for Stage 28 on where to avoid and best lodging. I mean towards the more peaceful areas. Thanks in advance!

    Ultralight Parka or Not?

    I’m starting the Camino Frances from SJPD 4/3. I’m still on the fence whether to take my ultralight down jacket. I’m bringing a good rain jacket/shell and multiple thin layers (merino wool). Will that be enough?

    Training with Weighted Vests

    Thanks for your insight. I like that idea of training rather than just hiking.

    Great idea! Thanks! I haven’t done a thru hike yet, but would love to do the AT, PCT and the AZT.

    Sleeping Bag Compression Sack

    I just received my ultralight Enlightened Revelation APEX Sleeping Quilt. I have a 34L pack, and I’m looking for the best way to compress it so I can pack it inside to keep it dry. This quilt was not cheap! Thanks in advance!!!

    Training with Weighted Vests

    Makes sense now that I’ve had time to research and think about it. Thanks, Buen Camino!

    Training with Weighted Vests

    That seems very reasonable. I do plan on using mostly my weighted pack. Perhaps using the vest a bit for core strength. I’m walking in a month’s time, but I’ve been training since November, but I’ve always been a walker/hiker. I had a little hiccup breaking my fifth metatarsal, but I’m still...

    Training with Weighted Vests

    I’m not willing to risk an injury with a weighted vest. Appears it could be useful, but only doing it right. It makes more sense to use the real thing. Thanks 🙏

    Training with Weighted Vests

    Good advice, thanks! After researching more, wearing the real thing makes more sense. It appears weighted vests could be useful but there is a risk to injury to joints.

    Training with Weighted Vests

    Thanks. She is a trainer but I’m not sure of her credentials. I’ve decided to just wear my backpack, since I need to get used to that!
