      hecate105 reacted to Mahonsk's post in the thread Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT with Like Like.
      It’s sooooo easy to get caught up in all of this. What if you were 100kg?? Bottom line is, people tend to over pack stuff as they forget that there are actually shops and things where you can buy stuff if you really need it and bins or recycling...

      hecate105 reacted to Jarrad's post in the thread Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT with Like Like.
      Whew, that makes more sense. I thought it was an oddly random reference to Tactical Warfare Training. 3 pair of zip-off pants and 2 pair of shorts: That's excessive, IMHO (in my humble opinion). You could get by with 2 pair of zip-off pants...

      Ecover washing up liquid. Natural, suits mosts skin. Great for dishes, clothes, bodies, hair and as a bonus is particularly good for getting oil off! A small bottle 50ml goes a long way. Also most European health food stores do refills....

      Hi and thanks for swift reply! its really the good old veedlepee that I want to finish from Salamanca/Zamora to Astorga. I have never used a "forwarding" style for my rucksack and am thinking of trailer for extra water and carrying a tarp for...

      hecate105 reacted to Gerard Griffin's post in the thread Do I take a tent with Love Love.
      There's a Camino for every person and they're all different and each is the best, for the person whose desires and needs it reflects. But I think it makes sense to carry a lightweight tarp/groundsheet setup, even if you don't plan to camp. You...

      hecate105 reacted to Barbara's post in the thread Do I take a tent with Love Love.
      Well, that's us told. I'd have been well knackered if I hadn't made my donkey carry my tent. Even if she did grumble about it because I wouldn't let her in it with me. Mostly I asked if I could use a corner of a field. Perfectly legal with the...

      hecate105 reacted to Robo's post in the thread Respectful donativo amounts in 2024 with Like Like.
      That's why I pay more in a Donativo than I would elsewhere, that has a 'price'. A Donativo, for those who can afford it, is a chance to help out a bit and 'give back'........

      hecate105 replied to the thread Do I take a tent.
      We camped most of the way on the interior - and the coastal - plenty of campsites - with pilgrim discount on coastal (we did that last summer!) Wild camping fairly easy - just use your loaf! Always (camping or hiking!) take a trowel - no...

      I've camped on the Portugese Camino from Lisbon to Santiago and never had a problem with police or landowners, or with finding a good campsite. Sanitation is not an issue, there's lots of open space.
