      J2j reacted to Gerard Griffin's post in the thread Hiking with a tent with Like Like.
      Most people who haven't done a Camino find the idea of sleeping in an albergue a bit bizarre; sleeping in a room full of strangers seems a strange thing to do and triggers all kinds of negative cultural reactions. Young people are often very...

      A sleeping bag is recommended to bring, anyway. Even without a tent. So, no extra weight (or only a little, at least in summer, for a slightly warmer bag than you'd bring for indoor use) And cooking equipment is not needed if you stay in...

      J2j reacted to good_old_shoes's post in the thread Hiking with a tent with Like Like.
      Most replies you get will most likely be from people who have never camped along the Camino. It is not a very common thing to do, so most will advise against it without actually having personal experience. I've brought my tent and have actually...

      It's really important on a forum like this to appreciate we all have a very different sense of what constitutes safety, risk and prudent behaviour. Commands in cap locks are very Facebook. The important thing here IMO is to think for yourself. On...

      J2j replied to the thread Phones, Sim Cards, Choices and Questions, Oh, So Many Questions!.
      I recommend buying a used iPhone with eSIM capability off SWAPPA and then get an eSIM for data only, you’ll use your primary U.S. telephone number for calls and messaging, from Airalo or Nomad. Data service in Spain is very affordable and reliable.
