    AJS49 reacted to peregrina2000's post in the thread Chinese shops??? with Like Like.
    They do have almost everything, and I’ve gotten things like cheap sunglasses, pillow cases, bubble wrap, bandanas, etc etc. One thing I would never get there is anything having to do with charging equipment for a phone. I have been told by...

    Well you nailed it, "it depends", on your foot, the anticipated weather, your experience etc. However since you are focused on your ankles let me add one more thing. I've noticed some people wear a style of sock that ends just below the ankle...

    AJS49 reacted to chinacat's post in the thread Sandals vs. flip flops. with Like Like.
    I had lightweight boots, Teva sandals and lightweight ‘recovery’ flip-flops. I sent the flip-flops on to Ivar after a few days and just used Tevas in the showers. On occasion I also walked in the Tevas. @falconbrother If your ‘hiking sandals’...

    AJS49 reacted to Telelama's post in the thread Sandals vs. flip flops. with Like Like.
    For me, it's both: a hiking sandal and flip-flops. I also am using the Speedgoats, but I really like have another shoe to put on after a day of walking. I don't care for walking around town in flip flops, it's just uncomfortable for me. If...

    AJS49 reacted to David's post in the thread Sleeping bag or liner and blanket with Like Like.
    This is such a tricky question as it really does depend on the weather, plus the desire to go lighter. I 'compromise' by using a 900gms Snugpak jungle bag, which is rectangular and one can have the foot end unzipped or unzipped all the way round...

    AJS49 reacted to K_Lynn's post in the thread Advice on specific Decathlon rain jackets? with Like Like.
    I went with the poncho from Decathlon that fit over my backpack. It has full sleeves and a 1/4 zip and was easy to put on without assistance. It get's bonus points for being extremely inexpensive. It rained every day in late October on the...

    Totally disagree with that, I've had jackets, cycling gear, three rucksacks, some really excellent trail shoes, fabric boots etc, and never been disappointed.. some of the designs can be a bit odd aesthetically, but generally work fine imo. I've...
