Planning a trek
Thanks. I'll point out, realizing you couldn't know, that steep slopes with drop offs aren't an issue. They be slow going but I'd not worry about them just because they're tougher hiking.- Kenknight

Planning a trek
Road walking doesn't worry me. Not as far as worrying about traffic is concerned. I don't like it but it wouldn't be a first time. Nor do I worry about prickly plants. I've done my share of backpacking and hiking in the desert southwest. On a road walk I'd worry about missing a turn because I...- Kenknight

Planning a trek
While the Camino Frances is an option one appeal of the Primitive is that it will likely be less busy and seems like it has a nicer mix of passing through towns, villages, and more remote places. I'm looking at things and we will see what develops. My gut feeling now is the toughest bits will...- Kenknight

Portable battery packs
As others have noted batteries are commodities these days. I've had good success with Anker and would go with them. I've never had much luck with solar. In anything but direct light they just don't seem to charge. Even in direct light they're slow. By the way, whatever you pick I suggest...- Kenknight

Is it more akin the something like The West Highland Way in Scotland or are the paths more a blazed hiking mountain trail in the States (my experiences of hiking in Europe suggest this is rather...- Kenknight

Planning a trek
Niels, well the timing likely would not work but thanks for replying. Starting Ma 9 is probably a good week or so later than I'd like. I'm trying to ensure I'm back on n the States for an annual backpacking trip over the Memorial Day weekend which means been big back by the 24th.- Kenknight

Planning a trek
Like many i am considering a trek of the Primitivio this spring. But I suspect I am a bit unusual. I am an experienced backpacker and have covered large parts of trails like the Appalachian Trail and North Country Trail. I've backpacked across the Scottish highlands. This is not uncommon...- Kenknight
