    Bed bugs alert

    Hi pilgrims. August 2008 I started in st.j.p.d.p on my walk to Santiago. I have read so much about the bedbugs before i started out, that it was in fact my biggest and only fear. I cant say exactly where on the route, but I began to scratch in the nights, there were only very small red spots...

    Light weight alternatives to soap, shampoo, laundry wash pow

    It's also possible to buy the pocket soap in a box with 50 leaves, perfumefree/all purpose. The brand is Sea to Summit, weight 15 gram, in Denmark the price is 3 Euro. Be carefull not to have wet fingers when you "grap" onto a leaf, because they easily stick together and melt. Molle :)

The color is not exactly the same as shown in the picture on Ospreys homepage, its a little less shiny-blue, more neutral-blue and the white isn't white but is instead lightgrey.

    Yii-haa :D !! Finally I found the right backpack for me, after searching for so long... And the winner is: :shock: Ospreys Talon 33 :D . It fits me perfectly, is easy to adjust into the right torso-length and the hipbelt has the right size as well (important). Weight: 850 gr., size m/l. And...
