    Agree - lack of recycling is the problem, so it is the human, not the product. I am in the UK and I don't know of any UK or EU restaurants that don't use aluminium pans (yes, I do check them). If you watch the Gordon Ramsey USA restaurants...

    Disagree, the world would not be better without plastic as plastic has transformed every area of our lives, for the better. The problem with plastic is the lack of recycling. Re metal bottles - the digging of ore, smelting, processing, the...

    Last May I bought a lemonade in the supermarket in Porto and had this 750 ml bottle all the way. I still have it at home :) It was enough since there are many places to refill it on the way.

    I typically use a 1-litre 58-pattern water bottle, which mates perfectly with a steel Crusader cup. It’s important to get a genuine Osprey cup, as the cheap copies are not as sturdy and more importantly their caps leak. I do not generally...

    I buy two sodas at the start of the Camino and after drinking the contents reuse the bottles as my Camino water bottles. I use sodas or similar because the bottles are thicker and have more secure lids than the ones used for the bottled water...

    In the next installment of my overplanning, I have now decided not to bring the mug with the lid, but I'll bring the spoon. I am sure I will go back and forth on this several more times before departure. 😆

    We each take a microwave cup, a small bowl with a tight lid, a spork, and a pocket knife. The bowl is uselful for taking leftovers on the trail. Obviously, other folks might not find these to be needed, but we find them worth the few ounces.

    We use sporks for store bought lunches. Used them nearly on a daily basis through two Caminos. Three together weigh maybe an ounce.
  • Evan Lacer
    I've packed a metal spork (serrated prongs on one end, spoon on the other) and it turned out to be handy for yogurt snacks and what have you. My water bottle of choice these days is my collapsible "ba ba", found here on Amazon. Nice, light and...
