Awesome, Cejanus! Thanks for the detailed explanation. My feet do the same thing and it was the first thing I started concentrating on. In addition to the pumice stone, I have found nightly use of a black nail file (coarse) helps as well as a combination of applying Salicylic Acid (found in over...
Well, that's a relief, actually. This has been the scariest BB thread I've found here so far. There's so much good information here--I'm counting on it to carry me through on my fall Camino next year.
Cejanus, sounds like a great plan! What do you do for foot preparation this far out? I'm looking for all the best ways to prepare for my first walk next September.

Awesome! Thank you. I'm going to have to compare this to a couple other lists I've come across and figure out what you've decided to do without. I know I'll be much happier with a lighter pack.
Goodness! 2.8K? You're the Light Weight Pack God! Have you posted your packing list somewhere? I guess there are apps that would scan this directly onto the iPhone, although it seems like it would take a lot of space to do so. I'm still thinking through the whole phone/no phone thing. I'd like...
