    Time to campeed, vaseline or duct tape?

    I think the question is wrong. If you're already having hot spots before you start the Camino, get different boots. With all the walking w a pack on your back, your feet will probably spread so why start with too-tight boots? My daughter and I are on the Camino now and we're having great...

    Rain ... And more rain

    I'm walking on Camino now. To me, walking in the rain is a minor issue. Walking when there's lightning during rain on flat Meseta when next cover is several km away is a bigger concern. Don't just walk during the rain. Stay alert. Be willing to turn back or stay put under cover if lightning...

    Toilet Paper

    I'm on the Camino now and saddened at the amount of TP along the path and in the bushes. Ladies, please join me and learn to get over your city habits and "go" without TP. Humans existed for millenniums without it. You can do it! (pardon the pun.) PS Don't forget, you'll probably have a hot...
