    ALBERGUES/shipping containers

    this must be a joke, lets talk about ventilation. lets talk about the HEAT in a METAL box. Tell me, when its 30 degrees outside, what do you think the temperature will be inside? This looks like a good idea but it is impractical. Until someone actually sleeps in it and roasts the night...

    One Step Closer

    hi michael, yea, i know what you mean! i bought my tickets and at that moment (in retrospect) the camino began. All preparations take on a whole new twist at that point. buen camino!! chris

    Rain-poncho vs. rain-suit in september

    ahh gaiters, here is a link. http://www.ems.com/index.jsp;jsessionid ... !7005!8005 bah, just checked the link... in the top right corner do a search for gaiters. Gaiters are tough waterproof fabric that connect your boot to your leg.. They keep dirt and water out of your boot, keep your...

    Rain-poncho vs. rain-suit in september

    nice, ahh i see i see. yes the jacket is also good as it has a bit more insulation and both the emergency poncho or rainsuit will have waterproof/windproof.. but the jacket is better for use as the outer layer. hmm. well another option for the legs is to pick up a pair of gaiters. i had knee...

    Rain-poncho vs. rain-suit in september

    hey liv, how much does your rainsuit weigh? i love to use the very very cheap $1 "emergency" poncho. Its basically a trash bag cut and formed into a poncho. no pockets but as light as a garbage bag. I used one during a month long hike on the Long Trail in Vermont. The only times i actually...

    hi there, dakota is a cutie! before i blather on ill just say im an animal handler for a diggy day care and though im not animal pro ill just ask you some questions to think about. Karns, how is her prey drive? does she shoot off like a rocket at small quick creatures? We actually have to...

    shoes and sleeping bag?

    yea lelsie, i agree about the external frame packs, they can be quite excellent. i have an old old jansport external frame with the absolute crappiest suspension but its my baby. im actually trying to figure out how to reuse it but i think its met its end. Over in the eastern part of US most...

    Slightly different boots question

    yea, non goretex is the way to go. id say goretex is a complete and utter waste (in its current condition.) Goretex is really a marketing strategy. buyer goes to store and asks salesman what he needs, saleman says you need goretex. buyer buys goretex and blows some odd $ on a piece of crap...

    shoes and sleeping bag?

    hey josh, yep, those salesfolk are downright demons! they always goto the most expensive thing first! if i ever had a outdoor shop i would purposefully stock crappy items to tell people that this is crap and dont get it! its much better to have a relationship to a customer over daily sales...

    what's the best preparation for my feet?

    hi there, ill tell you what works best for me. Im a relatively amateur backpacker, only going for some odd 500 miles in total. Ive worn broken in boots and brand new boots on different trips and have not had problems with blisters. the two main reasons people get blisters are from Friction...
