    Medication woes

    I have been blessed with traveling for thirty-eight years and part of that has been hiking. I've seen tremendous improvements in gear, a little inflation in prices and I carry a whole lot more Rx than at seventeen 😳 the biggest issue is insulin and keeping it cool. I have a device that I will...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    My picture is of Mount Tabor or Har Tavor found in the Book of Judges. My back door here in the Galilee, Israel offers a variety of hikes from 1.5 hours to six and half covering 26km. It's very thought provoking to literally walk in areas where Jesus undoubtedly did so two thousand years ago.

    insulin inquiry

    When you walked did you bury it where the air couldn't circulate? This is my concern, placement. If it's too close to the sun that's no good but if you bury it then the whole cooling process is disrupted or so I would think....

    insulin inquiry

    Hello Graham, I to own and have used the Frio X-large pack but I have used it internationally, get to my destination and leave it out on the dresser with no problem. You have used it walking in the hotter months and my question is how do you place it that the bag gets air to keep cool . Any...

    Book exchanging

    That was interesting to read through. Weight is certainly an issue for so many it seems so a book is not going to make the cut for many. I think about down time personally, I walk now routinely for six hours and I sleep 5 to 6 hours a night. That leaves me with half a day. There's showering...

    I certainly don't want to create a headache, I'll bear this in mind

    Book exchanging

    I was surprised when I did a search that nothing came up on the topic so here we go. Is it common in the albergues to have a few shelves of books free to take and exchange out ones you have?

    Osprey Rucksack Belt Pocket Zips

    I have three Osprey packs including a new 38 Kestrel and all of them are a nightmare to use that feature for me. I have thought that a larger toothed zipper would resolve this.

    long sleeve Merino wool shirt for SUMMER

    Have you ever researched something to the point that the more you read the more confused you end up? That’s me on trying to buy a stupid shirt. What I desire is a long sleeve Merino wool shirt suitable for hot weather. I hike in 35 to 40 degree celcius and I imagine that the temps in September...

    Merino wool shirt

    OK so wool for older people means warmth and itchiness . I have a few pairs of Merino wool socks and I wear them in 40 Celsius here in the desert and they dry nicely during rest breaks. I was under the impression that a Merino wool shirt would do the same....sometimes when I'm near a purchase it...

    Merino wool shirt

    Greetings, I generally do my research before I post a question and that is certainly the case here. I’ve never spent upwards of over a hundred dollars on a shirt in my entire half century plus of life so you can appreciate my apprehension. I have read the few threads here, on Readit, countless...

    Electrolytes Help. I forgot my Nuun

    I have had in the past leg cramps so bad it has thrown me out of bed, once almost out a 6th floor window in Quito. My wife who has experience working in an old age home says that the nurses would give salt to such sufferers and that would immediately resolve the problem. So for the past 8 years...

    SAINT-JEAN (1st Day) failure rate 40%?!

    Greetings, I have read and watched in the neighborhood of about fifty hours of material regarding the Camino and each time I learn something new. A frequent mention of the first day is "it's hard, but you'll be fine!" coupled with a recent video of a young couple half my age huffing and puffing...

    Any idea on what this is?

    I'm not able to b\c of the shape.

    Any idea on what this is?

    I found this in a box of converters for plug-ends but it certainly is not that. It looks like it might be a light or maybe one of those devices that emits a sound that keeps mosquitoes away? I don't even know where it came from.

    Bad experience Logrono

    House rules being what they are I would follow them. That said I can't understand the logic here with backpacks. I've been to more than a hundred hostels around the world and I've never heard of this. Bedbugs are no fun but if they are going to be transferred it's most likely going to be either...

    Entering France with a "Deported" stamp in my passport

    This particular topic comes up frequently in the OPED of the Friday Jerusalem Post, always bad stories to try and warn others making the same mistake. It's common for young Israelis to go to America and at times over stay their welcome and hence getting 'red stamped' . Replacing the passport...

    Entering France with a "Deported" stamp in my passport

    If you get 'red stamped' it's in the computer, it's not a matter of simply getting a new paper passport and starting over :(
