    Cushions for pack straps?

    Yes i have used the seat belt pads before and they are all ready to go on this camino as well. They do make the straps more comfy and they are inexpensive and lightweight.

    Smart Packing and Unexpected Backpack Items

    I haven't done the Camino yet - set off in two weeks - but on other long treks I found chux wipes to be so very useful! They are light, quick drying and can be tied anywhere on your pack. A friend from the Bibulman track put me on to them actually. Buen Camino!

    Rainware....From a different perspective

    Ahh thats great because i ordered them! My previous ones didnt even hold up under a drizzle of water! Thank you for that reassurance!! Enjoy your Camino.

    Rainware....From a different perspective

    Thank you for everyones input - i have decided i may get wet, i may be uncomfortable but i shall go with what i have and walk the camino regardless. See you there.

    Scrubba Bag

    Someone somewhere on here mentioned throwing your clothes in the shower with you so washing them at the same time - sounds like a plan?? Of course not to hog the shower, just to stomp on while you are in there!

    Rainware....From a different perspective

    Thanks Cathy - i had bought some on ebay but they were about as waterproof as a cotton tshirt!! Even tho they stated waterproof. I assume you have checked yours?? Will purchase if so. Getting close now.

    Rainware....From a different perspective

    Cathy where did you buy the Altus? I keep changing my mind on rain gear and am disappointed the short gaiters are not actually waterproof. Which ones did you go for? Thanks.

    Lee my heart goes out to you also. You know what you need to do but part of you wishes otherwise! The Camino isnt going anywhere - there will be a better time.
