What blister prevention techniques did you use?
I walked the Camino over a three year period. Year one, no prevention, well-worn hiking boots and smart wool socks. Result? Unbelievably bad blisters resulting in loss of multiple toenails. Year two, wider boots, smart wool socks. Result? Fewer blisters, but blisters nonetheless. Year...- musicagl

Merino Wool socks VS Coolmax socks
Every person's feet are different. Mine blister with merino wool (although only on the Camino -- hiking in New England, merino and my feet do fine). Coolmax socks worked a lot better for my feet on the Camino. I had to toss the merino. Outside temperature matters as well. I walked in May...- musicagl

I have sleep apnea and didn't take my machine on the Camino.

Thermolite sleeping bag liner. OK to use w/o bag?
Hi: I'm considering using my Thermolite sleeping bag liner as my sleep sack and not bringing my lightweight down bag at all.

Help! Packing list
I love the name badge clip idea instead of clothespins. Agree on the pants -- I took two convertible pants (zip off at knee) which had the advantage of being extremely fast drying. That is plenty. I also took only one fleece (jumper) - layered under my rain jacket it was fine for cooler and...- musicagl
