    Backpack Capacity (DaveBugg Bait!)

    Yes. Lots of interest these days in being able to say you have the smallest pack then hanging things on the outside because they do not fit in said pack! I believe Gossamer Gear fills packs with styrofoam beads to measure capacity.

    HELP! (Shoe advice) April 2020

    The "Zero drop" with Altras takes getting used to if you're used to walking in a shoe with a rise of say 8 to 11 mm.

    Thanks Kazrobbo. Interesting you just mentioned the Cicerone guide as I have one for Camino Norte and am disappointed by lack of info beyond route and accommodation. Maybe a one off, but..... VDLP plans would be for fall this year so will look into the Gerald Kelly 2020 version.

    Yes, Annie. Perhaps expand on the term Boots. There's a huge variety of boots i.e. high top leather boots versus mid height light hikers.
