    Hanging things off of pack

    I guess that's how one tree I passed got adorned with various articles of clothing and made into some kind of shrine. Go back in a few years time and you'll probably see your underwear along with everyone else's.

    Pole usage from Sarria to Santiago

    I too use poles, they've saved my bacon several times when I've caught my foot on a tree root or slippery section through mud. I either use them normally (left pole forward with right foot forward) or if my knee starts complaining after 20 mls, I revert to putting left pole forward with left...

    Oh no! Not another equipment Question...

    After reading the posts about robberies near Seville, I'm packing pepper spray, knife, even larger machette, pistol, AK47, one or two hand grenades and some C4. The only draw back is it's going to push my pack weight up from 2.7 kgs to well over 90 kgs. Think I'll have to include a trolly. Also...

    Socks nightmare, please help!

    I wear sandals for all my hikes, wet, muddy or dry, and I just wear ordinary everyday socks.
