    Thanks. Being in that "more longevity" group (I avoid the term, "older") I appreciate your input!

    What's the one thing in your pack, that you absolutely CANNOT do without...and why?

    Except that losing weight means our pack has to be lighter, in keeping with the 10% of body weight rule, right? 😆

    I'm curious, what kind of tiny hearts?

    While Waiting to Walk - What are you doing?

    You guys are inspiring, so thanks! I did 30 days of it awhile back, then home projects took over my life. Now that I'm dreaming of walking the Camino in 2022, I'm going to start back up!

    While Waiting to Walk - What are you doing?

    I'm looking for people from my area who are interested in going in 2022. I'm near Sacramento—anyone else? I'd love to meet you and do some walking together1

    How many of you have reconnected on the forum?

    I actually met up with two gals I met on the Camino (Frances route) when I visited New Zealand. The three of us did a trek together while I was there. And, if my foot will cooperate, one of them and I are planning to walk the Camino del Norte this Spring!

    Advice for walking the Camino del Norte

    Thanks so much! Very encouraging. I'm trying to avoid both rain and heat as much as possible, but I know the weather will be what it will be!

    Advice for walking the Camino del Norte

    Hi! I'm new here and have a lot of questions. Sounds like you've done this and had a good experience! How long should I plan for walking the Norte route? Is mid-May and June a good time to walk?

    How steep is steep?

    Hi Irenie, You sound a LOT like me — 70 years old, active, and I play in the Sierra Foothills, too! We should connect — but I don't know how to do that privately here! I just did the hike over the Pyrenees in May. Did the same as you're planning to do — started in SJ (went a day early so had...

    Walking poles - how to take them on a flight??

    I just recently heard that once we're in Europe we can ship items to Ivar in Santiago and he'll hold them for 60 days. Since I can't take my poles or pocket knife as a carry-on, AND since I'm planning a leisurely trip back to Paris after my Camino, I've decided to do the following: — package my...

    Tyvek and pyrethrin

    Another great idea. I was concerned about getting my mattress cover dirty, so just ordered an additional small piece I'll use as my sit-upon! I was in Girl Scouts, too! Thanks again so much! Dee

    Tyvek and pyrethrin

    Yes! A backpacking friend just suggested that, too, so I'm removing my little sit pad from my pack. Getting the pack weight down, ounce by ounce!

    Tyvek and pyrethrin

    Okay, just found it and ordered it at a very reasonable price on Amazon, and according to the specs, it should be 7 oz lighter than my twin sheet! Yahoo! And thanks again!

    Tyvek and pyrethrin

    Thanks. The online materials are a bit pricy so I'm checking craft stores right now. So far, no luck, but I'll keep looking! The big question is, will it be lighter than my twin fitted sheet! I'm trying to shave my pack weight! Thanks again, and Buen Camino! I leave in 20 days! Yikes!
