    For men - great deal on Exofficio at Costco

    I'm a woman and I walked 2 Caminos in men's exofficio boxer briefs, wearing skirts. I recommend them -- very cool, very comfortable, and that's a great price. Off to Cosco!

    Macabi skirt - which colour

    I think you look good- your hat too!

    Macabi skirt - which colour

    Like a nun? Charcoal in slim, short. You decide -- maybe:)

    Macabi skirt - which colour

    The skirt fabric rubs on the inside of my knee when walking — it’s a lot of fabric just around my knees. If you check out Purple Rain skirt it is very comfortable. Also, I think the full gathering and the knee length together are unflattering. The longer one looks fine.

    Macabi skirt - which colour

    I have the charcoal in the slim short length, which is l long on me (62" 157 cm). I like it and don't think it is too hot in the summer, it hides dirt and is neutral with any top. I also have the knee length in black but don't like it. The length is about mid knee on me and feels...

    What's the craziest thing you have done to save weight?

    I photographed the pages of Brierly with my smartphone so I didn't have to carry the book. Don't think this was crazy though -- worked for me!

    Sleep phones

    I sleep all night with audio books playing on my iPhone. I pick something boring that makes me sleep. And as davebugg suggests I charge my power bank at night.

    What if I don't have a cell phone?

    There is no right answer for everyone, but to me as a woman over 70 traveling alone it makes sense to have a phone. I think as a matter of safety it is a good idea for solo women to have a phone.

    How much does your Backpack weigh?

    You have to know yourself. I couldn't carry 8+kg. I am 72, 5'3 with arthritis and osteoperosis. I need to stay under 5kg. Everyone is different, but in general I would say the lighter the better. One doesn't need much on the Camino.

    Bringing a T Mobile Samsung 6

    What Trecile said. I have T-mobile, I have travelled with it all around Spain, on the Portuguese Camino, and other places. No problems with data anywhere. Phone calls (without wifi) are 20 cents a minute but I used whatsapp. No problems.

    Nightwear

    Haven't read your other replies so sorry if this is a repeat. Whatever you are planning to sleep in, try it at home first. SO this is just me ... I am not comfortable sleeping in hiking clothes, and need to get up several times at night to use the bathroom. A lightweight non-see-through...

    Treating merino clothing & bed bugs

    I washed and dried my merino wool at high temperatures and it was fine.

    Trail runners and mud?

    Walked in Trail Runners 2 Caminos, first Saucony Peregrine 5 and then Altra Lone Peak 3.0. No problems at all.

    hiking shoe - hallux rigidus

    I have hallux rigidus and am doing well (considering) with the altra lone peak 3.0. I also tried the Altra lone peak 3.5 but it wasn't as good.

    Late October Camino Portugues, No Sleeping Bag?

    I am on the Camino Portuguese now, it is quite chilly at night, glad to have my sleeping bag

    Last minute thoughts on clothes

    I wouldn't go buying things, but lightweight merino wool leggings are perfect if you have them . (i have icebreaker.) one pair is enough, and they don't smell.

    Who Has Used iPhone app "Wise Pilgrim Guide"

    I used it last year for the CF and will use this year on the CP. I am old and weak and arthritic but I still want to carry my pack, so I took pictures of the Brierly book with my smart phone. Last year I found the app great.

    Lone Peak 3.5 vs Merrell vs New Balance

    I have altra lone peak 3.0 and about a month ago bought the 3.5. I think the fit is different on the 3.5 and I don't like them. I leave in less than a week and still deciding between Altra lone peak 3.0 and Saucony Peregrine 6. I get foot pain with either (hallux rigidis) but will still walk...

    Macabi short skirt questions

    I have charcoal but I wish I had purple! Size small should be fine.
