    Your Ideal First Aid Kit for the Camino

    In books I have read re: hiking long distance they advise wearing a liner under socks. I did that and I only had one blister on the Camino...that was due to a full day of moderate to heavy rain so not sure much can prevent a blister in that case.

    Your Ideal First Aid Kit for the Camino

    Without question the thing I used most was moleskin. I brought a small roll and I had a tiny pair of scissors on a pocket / pen knife to cut it (especially to cut the important "doughnut" hole).

    guidebook (ebook format)

    Hey there. I was planning to purchase John Brierly's book (A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago) but I wanted to buy it as an ebook. I guess he does not have it in ebook format. So I was wondering if there is another book people can recommend in ebook format. Thanks. --Joe

    How to train for the Camino?

    Great advice. One question: For the polypropylene inner sock what percentage polypropylene should they be? I see some that are 100%, I see some that are 83% nylon, 15% polypropylene and 2% spandex. If anyone has a link to some of the ones that they have successfully used please post. Thank you!
