CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread Two backpacks?.I thought about the pack in the pack option. I could get it to work, but I found that the second pack just added too much weight and took up too much space. I also thought about using a small stuffable pack as a daypack, but I like having a frame... -
CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread Accommodation - to book or not to book.It depends on what you want out of the Camino.

CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread Best route into Burgos.Most definitely the river path! I ignored all the advice and took the shorter road route. What a mistake!!

CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread long sleeve Merino wool shirt for SUMMER.I no longer use wool shirts for the reason you describe. While they wick moisture well, they also tend to be heavier than synthetics. I have switched totally to a much lighter fabric with wicks as well or better than wool. My shirt of choice is...

CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread Take my vitamins?.I'm a believer in vitamins and supplements, but for the Camino I try to minimize what I bring. So my compromise is one multivitamin per day and one 500mg Magnesium Glycinate capsules per day. Studies have shown that about 85% of Americans are...

CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread Should I bring my own Mercado bag?.My solution was a stuffable back pack, which also served as my carryon since I checked my bag. These stuffable backpacks weigh almost nothing and can stuff down into a small ball that takes up very little space in your pack. Once unstuffed, they...
