    Ultimate Camino Scarf

    I'm preparing for my third Camino and each trip I go with less "stuff". I'm looking forward to traveling light. One thing that I will absolutely have (even if it's the ONLY item I bring-LoL) is my Shemagh. Middle East, Orient, Australia, Central America, Africa...the Shemagh has been my...

    Ultimate Camino Scarf

    Emonty and Pilgrim B, that's a GREAT idea with the shemagh....kind of a mini-air-conditioner in the heat. Your mate may have poked some fun at your shemagh, but I guarantee he wished he had one too, and probably bought one as soon as he could! I think one more purpose is, "just plain looks...

    Ultimate Camino Scarf

    Unadara, great blog spot BTW! Thanks for the link. Hey, I never really thought of the Shemagh being so thin that it's probably see-through! I might have to make my trips to the show VERY quickly! Although, I have found that because of the lightweight material, the shemagh dries quickly!

    Decorating my Pack!

    All of your backpacks look great! Here's another suggestion...sew a Velcro strip on your backpack, then glue the Velcro counter-part on your Forum patch. It will be quite easy to switch out your patch according to venues. Replacing your backpack won't mean un-doing any sewing work.

    Ultimate Camino Scarf

    Now that is a GREAT suggestion (and a privacy screen too, who knew???) !!! I love that idea, thank you!

    Ultimate Camino Scarf

    This scarf is about $5 on Amazon, but you can probably find it locally for just as cheap. Because it is very light, it dries quickly!

    Ultimate Camino Scarf

    Wow Thomas, those are some more good suggestions. I actually did use it to cover myself going to the shower (LoL) but thought I wouldn't mention it :) Additionally, I used it in the Middle East for dust storms. Thanks for the great input!

    Ultimate Camino Scarf

    I've heard several folks mention this topic, so I thought I'd suggest this scarf (Shemagh). I've worn it in many countries and it has worked great. The Shemagh scarf is a cheap, lightweight asset for your camino and can be purchased anywhere. The Shemagh serves many purposes. Here are a few...

    Cloth Badge on Backpack

    You might consider using a hot-glue to attach velcro to your Forum patch. Many back-packs have a velcro swab already on the pack. Or, you can sew the velcro on yourself. I have velcro bases on my packs and can switch the patch according to my venue or location. (You can even turn it upside down...

    My Kit List - Half Camino Frances April 2014 (Burgos - Santiago)

    That's a great packing list, thanks for the post. I also have the Osprey 48, although I've learned that "less is more" (I intend to keep it as light as possible). You have some redundant items, so I might just humbly suggest some things you might consider leaving home to lighten your load...

    Spouse's sleeping bag and jacket ruined by hostel laundry, what can she do?

    Exactly. Move on and enjoy the rest of the Camino. These things happen all of the time, don't let one small thing detract from the adventure. "We are defined in life by how we respond to defeat" Buen Camino!
