    List your shoes

    I walk on trailrunners (salomons), goretex ultra pro or something like that. I have the impression that the hiking shoes last longer than the trailrunners. But the trailrunners feel more comfy. Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9100G met Tapatalk

    List your shoes

    To hike: Salomons. I started my 1st camino on the wrong shoes (lowa i think). After a week of terrible blisters and cut off toenails, I bought my 1st pair of Salomons in a tiny hop in Santander. And since then i walk on Salomons. On my 4th pair now. They last about 1200 km I found out. For the...

    Walking poles or not

    @abbeydore: what is special about pacerpoles? very curious: there seems to be something unique, but i can not really figure out what it is. ria

    OMM Trio Chest pack

    hi all, i did not walk in heavy rain this year, so i can not really tell you. i guess when it is pouring down for a longer period your stuff in the pouch gets wet, but i did not experience that. it is however dryer than my pack (which is an OMM too and made of very thin lightweight fabric, so...

    Which bit of kit failed?

    hi, together with all my 'luxuries' i had 4,5 kilo this year (without water). and sorry, i really don't like the icebreaker stuff (not even what they call 'ultralight'). & oh yes, i did norte, primitivo, plata, levante, salvador, ingles, portugues... so have a little experience too ria

    Bum Belt - Money Belt -Storing valuables

    Hi, I have the OMM chest pouch and i really like it. It's not difficult at all to get it off your rucksack (it clicks very easy in the rucksack (if you have an OMM rucksack as well; if not you use hooks; in fact you attach it in a few different ways, also on the back of a pack). it's small and...

    Which bit of kit failed?

    Hi, nice topic! Being the kind of ultralight backpacker that weighs everything before it gets a place in the pack, i usually don't bring any stuff that has not proven its functionality already. But every now & then you need something new, & that might work out a bit different than one expects...

    Another Backpack recommendation request

    thanks. I don't think my pack is waterproof anyway. but first i'm going to try the baking soda. If that doesn't work i'll go to the dry cleaner :-) ria

    Another Backpack recommendation request

    thanks for the washing the pack tips. I allready tried bathing it in the tub, but somehow the smell did not really get out: in between the nice flowery soap smell i every now and then smelled the horrible scent of old dried up sweat :-). but i'm curious about this febreeze thing: i have...

    Socks

    hi all, the truth about socks is definately different for everybody: i bought expensive icebreaker socks that didn't work (i don't like this woolly stuff; also gave away my merino shirts), then i had expensive falke socks, that had holes very soon, and then i started buying cheap running socks...

    Another Backpack recommendation request

    Hi Kitsamber, I'm a woman, and i have an Exos 46. For me it's the perfect pack. After having walked 1700 kms in Spain with it last year, I decided that i could do with less space and weight this year, so I bought an OMM (25 l) with a chest pouch (4l). So I started with the OMM this year, and was...
