    How to call a US cell number from the US (when the phone is in Spain)

    With the work I do I need to be able to receive calls from a variety of unknown numbers. When it's a robocall, though, I simply block that number. Then the same spammers simply spoof another number to try to sell me something - and I block that number.

    Bed bug research article

    So permethrin may help pilgrims somewhat better follow the old night-time adage: "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite."

    How to call a US cell number from the US (when the phone is in Spain)

    I use T-Mobile, which, as stated by many above, works great in Spain. However, I plan to change my number shortly before heading on my Camino, as I do *not* wish to receive 10-20 spam calls a day from telemarketers while on pilgrimage.

    Small Folding Knife - Buses/Trains in 2024

    I don't know that we are fretting, Tincatinker. I'm a project planner. I can sweat the details without sweating! Planning is fun for me, and learning what details I might ahead of time is part of the game. On the other hand, I feel fine watching plans get altered (even blown apart) and...

    Small Folding Knife - Buses/Trains in 2024

    What about fixed-blade knives, as far as train and bus transport in Spain? I have a knife with a 2" blade (5.08cm), but it's not a folder.

    Immersion heater question

    I went to that link, and the people who have used it rather panned it. It is light (51g) and holds 400ml, but people said it bent, was nearly impossible with hot drinks. Of course, peoples' needs and mileage may vary. They did like how lightweight it is. The one (out of 15 reviews) person who...

    Short sleeve shirt with 2 large pockets

    If you can't find such a two-pocketed lightweight t-shirt to buy, perhaps you can hire someone with suitable talent to sew you such a garment. Or, add pockets to a nice t-shirt.

    Poll Sleep system: Sleeping bag, liner, etc?

    I just went to REI (Recreational Equipment Inc.) in the Seattle area to look at liners, sleeping bags, liners, blankets, and quilts. The combo I liked the best consisted of: 1. Cacoon Mummy Liner (100% silk) 95"x35"/22" (241x90/56 cm), 4.7 oz. / 135 g at $84.95. On the tag it said it will make a...

    Backpack question: Ospreys Stratos 36L vs 44L?

    Bruno - and others interested in this thread. You all inspired me to go looking at my local REI (Recreational Equipment Incorporated) near Seattle, to see if I could take a look at the Osprey 36L and 44L. I did find the 36L, but the larger backpack was not in stock. What was in stock was an...

    Quick drying hiking tshirt help

    As with many such stores, you can go to costco dot com to shop online for such. Costco tends to be seasonal. I just checked - at the moment they have 32 Degrees Men's Cool Tee, a 3-pack (~$14) which is 85% Polyester | 15% Spandex. They claim it to be anti-odor. Costco is also offers a Seg'ments...
