    For Sale/Wanted Osprey Exos 38 For Sale

    No, sorry. The asking price of $150 for a never worn pack plus free shipping is quite fair. M

    For Sale/Wanted Osprey Exos 38 For Sale

    Just to be clear, I had a long talk with my Trail 40 and we are still close life partners and will never be parted. In fact, I believe my little mistake exploring other backpack relationships has just made Trail 40 and I a stronger couple. M

    For Sale/Wanted Osprey Exos 38 For Sale

    I am selling a never used Exos 38L pack that I bought in late 2022 to replace my beloved REI Trail 40 for an upcoming fall 2024 Camino. Unfortunately due to my gym habits, my chest and shoulders are too large for this amazingly nifty pack. I loaded it up last week for some break in hikes and...

    SAINT-JEAN (1st Day) failure rate 40%?!

    I personally left about 38% of my will to live at one point. Does that count???

    Only Sandals in October?

    +1 but I use Rocky GoreTex, same results. Even in January the dry socks over wool hiking socks worked splendidly.

    Descent into Portomarin

    Last year when I was there, signage had been posted letting pilgrims know about the 2 different routes into Portomarin, one quite nice and one very, very rugged. You should have no issues picking the correct route for you. Have fun!

    Norte in Jan/Feb

    I walked the Frances in Jan/Feb of 2020 and had a great time, riiiiiight up until Covid showed up. Drying clothes isnt much of a worry, I pack 3 sets these days so I have extra on a daily basis. My only real worry would be weather making routes unpassable and lodging. I tend to use hotels and...

    Norte in Jan/Feb

    Forgive me if this has been asked to death, my search resulted in little. I have walked 4 Camino Frances and kinda want to branch out to a different route. ViaDLPlata is an option, but presses my available time to its max. I have a working farm and Jan/Feb is the only open window I have for...

    COVID Spain Entry Restrictions

    You are exactly correct! I am finishing my 2020 covid Camino from Astorga and then going back to Leon for the San Sal and then Primitivo. This trip has been postponed 3 times since due to Covid variant flare ups and a really enjoyable broken leg(0 out of 5 stars, dont recommend). Currently I...

    COVID Spain Entry Restrictions

    Sorry, I should have been more specific. Yes, I was asking about Covid issues. I am aware of the Spainish websites and such, what I was reading were in media reports. The present requirements arent that bad, but this trip I have 5 people traveling with me so any fewer hassles would be darn...
