[QUOTE="Camino Chris, post: 482001"] I love using a fanny pack (I've learned on this forum that this is the USA wording for "bum bags". Fanny packs were quite the rage (fashion) here in the 1990's and many people were using them. But with all fashion statements, they soon became obsolete and out of style after a few years and anyone caught wearing one was considered a "dork". Well, I resurrected mine from the past (aka... my basement storage area) for my Caminos and love it! Fanny packs usually have several different zippered compartments and I use one of them for my passport, credit and debit card, and larger amounts of cash, after first securing them in a ziplock bag. My smartphone sits perfectly in the bigger zippered section. I can pull it out quickly to take my hundreds of photos along the way. Lastly there is a smaller section where I carry Ibuprophen (which I learned on this forum is really called Camino candy) in a little tin and also small amounts of cash. Everything is at my fingertips. I carry nothing of importance or true value in my backpack, (aka rucksack). I wear my fanny pack all the time and only take it off to shower, but it still stays with me in my shower bag. At night I put it in the bottom of my sleeping bag, safe and cozy as I sleep. I have a newer small over the shoulder, slashproof crime travel purse, but would not like dealing with the long strap while taking my pack on and off for daily multi rest breaks on the Camino. I also own a hidden slim money bag to be used under clothing, but find they don't hold much and get sweaty. Bottom line, I don't care if I'm a dork...I love fanny packs! What do you carry for your valuables? [/QUOTE]
