      If it's too windy for the umbrella, just fold it up and put it in one of the side pockets of your pack! With a hat underneath the hood of the jacket, you'll be fine.

      Rain jacket plus a RAIN KILT (very ultra lightweight, quick on and off, fits in a shoulder strap pocket, easy to put on and take off, wind & waterproof and keeps pants and underwear dry). For me a poncho has 1 use vs a rain jacket can be worn...

      My backpack is ultralight (Gossamer Gear Murmur), and I use a pack liner inside (also from Gossamer Gear). Everything in the liner, which is actually just a durable plastic bag, stays dry. I use a rainskirt (3F UL) with a rain jacket (Montbell...

      Judy T reacted to Sundevil's post in the thread Did it make a difference with Like Like.
      Yes, it made a difference. I am more patient, and it opened my heart. I think of the Camino often, about the people I met and how people of all races and nationalities can get along if they truly try.

      Judy T reacted to Sha-Ron's post in the thread Did it make a difference with Like Like.
      Yes it made a difference. It brought us as a family closer together. (4 of us walked together) I pushed myself further than I had ever been before. It made me stronger and enriched my life. It gave me an admiration for the Spanish people and...

      Walking 800 km is not a small thing nor is it a regular thing so yes, of course it changes you. Some more than others. “It’s poisonal” as we say in these parts, how much it changes you and why. It must mean a lot to many of us though, because we...

      Judy T reacted to ClaireMcMahon's post in the thread Poles or No Poles? with Like Like.
      My current thinking is that I might pick up a single pole at SJPDP and see how I fare with that for a little while, and then decide along the way if I want to pick up a second or drop the first!

      Judy T replied to the thread Poles or No Poles?.
      Okay, I'll chime in. I don't really use poles on a camino. The main reason is that I don't check my luggage. I have Gossamer Gear LT5 carbon trekking poles, which I use in the mountainous terrain where I live (Montana). They are extremely...

      Claire I didn't start faffing about with two poles until I was more than twice your age. My younger self had no interest in them other than when hiking mountain terrain with a full pack. First couple of caminos I took one collapsible pole, which...

      Judy T reacted to loohoorn's post in the thread Poles or No Poles? with Like Like.
      Any opposing views? I use one pole when hiking down steep mountain trails in Colorado. Otherwise, I find them cumbersome and added weight. I do not plan on bringing them on my Camino Frances (starting in Pamplona) next month. Anyone happy with...
