Pack weight question

Eve, the fact of the matter is that everyone is a little nervous on their first Camino! Every single question that you have posed has been on the mind of every first time walker ( I think that about includes everyone ). I really think the biggest one on everyone s mind is "Can I do it?" or some...

Socks

I think there was another thread on this. I use only "Wright" socks.... They are a double layer and come in different thicknesses. Both my walks have b en in warmer weather so have used light weight mostly...... Never a blister ( fingers crossed )

Croc shower sandals and other ways to cut weight

I have a pair of minimalist nike "trainer". A pair of"superlite" sandals and a pair of Crocs.....all weighed "exactly" the same?....there are trade offs, of course. I did find that I could only wear my orthotics (collapsed arch) in the Crocs.....then I tried a pair of New Balance (can't remember...

Do I need a phone? What's your experience?

I am taking my IPad Mini. Skype and FaceTime does a complete job of reaching (and being reached by) the ones that really matter.....wife, kids and their families and brother! All have Apple "something". Everyone one else can probably make it until my return. Can take pics as required, as well...

Disappointed with my hiking shoes

As I am finding out about most items used on the Camino, it all comes down to individual preference AND requirements. However, I just purchased a pair of Salomon "gore-text lined" low boots, installed my orthotics ( from running days) instead of supplied insoles and have walked two 20K+ days in...
