    Towel - which size?

    I have an extra large one, I wanted it to wrap around my body and use it to hang from bed if I want to sleep.

    Women out there - Deuter backpack

    Anyone have the Dueter Trial Pro 34L? Thoughts please. I'm an Osprey person, but really like this bag and wondering what others think? I know it's not the lightest of packs but looking for pros and cons please.

    Mid/Low Hiking Boots

    I am a Merrell girl myself. I have the ankle boots you mention and heat was not a problem for me, I did stop and take my shoes off when I rested, no blisters. I have now switched to Moab's high boots. I like the ankle support. You know what you like so get what you know works for you.

    Pilgrim scallop shell

    I got mine here in Pittsburgh from a fish market. I had a friend paint the cross of St. James on it and drilled two holes on it to put on my back pack.

    Hiking sticks on aircraft?

    why not leave the poles behind and pick one up when you arrive, you will most likely get on for less than the shipment cost, then you can carry your bag.

    Journal Question

    Any ideas on a light weight Journal to carry? I don't want to use an electronic device, I still prefer paper and pen, but my journal, which is spiral bound, appears to be too heavy! Any journal writers have light weight options?

    Have my backpack but now need some advice

    Don't let it kill you please! LOL I will do it tomorrow as I am not near the pack. But now I am wondering which ones just come off maybe it is those that I want out of my way because I don't carry a pad.

    Have my backpack but now need some advice

    Hello Alaskadiver, thank you! I'm not trying to cut the straps to save weight just as I don't take the labels out of my clothing or use a wash cloth size piece of microfiber for a towel. It's just all those straps get in my way. I got this handled now I know what needs cut now and how to...

    Have my backpack but now need some advice

    Thanks! so I wasn't too far off when I said I'd probably burn the whole bag! yep off to the shoe maker guy to do this for me. He would have cutters and a machine that could hem the straps. You have all been very helpful, I appreciate it.

    How to train for the Camino?

    LOL...OK here is the best training I had: An edited version to a "Santa is coming to town" song... Why, because the thought of training while reading all these posts from experienced people a little voice kept saying "you can't do this, these are athletic people...stop dreaming...then Santa...

    Have my backpack but now need some advice

    Thanks Mark, I guess I wasn't clear...at this point my pack is empty, it's just a heavier pack than the ultra light new packs, I'm fine with it. I'm not fine with how long those straps are and just wondered if I could cut them and if there was a reason NOT to cut them. So you say, turn them...

    Have my backpack but now need some advice

    I love my backpack, and I know it's a little heavy. I have the Ospry Kyte , but I think all the straps are too long. Why are they so long? Is there something I don't know - another use for them perhaps? Anyhow, I want to cut them some so they don't hang down so long - I'm short 5'3. I can...
