      Puck1 replied to the thread Packing List: Welcome All Comments!.
      You may want to think about some sort of moisturizer you can use on your face. I find that sun/rain/wind/snow(!!) is hard on the skin. You can take a small amount of one you already use if you do so, or even a small tube of aquaphor which can be...

      Puck1 reacted to clarkandkaren's post in the thread How to choose a Camino Prep Fitness Program? with Like Like.
      You’ve gotten some very good advice here. I can only offer a few specific areas/ideas. I’m starting the Camino in less than 2 weeks. Although I bicycle 200-300 miles a week I still have a few fitness issues to resolve. For muscular endurance...

      I’m not a fan either. My long hiking pants have elastic in the ankles that can be pulled tighter to shorten.

      Puck1 replied to the thread want solitude.
      I’m currently on the San Salvador and am completely alone on the path and in the albergues! It’s stunning and I’ve been very lucky with the weather. If possible, try not to pick a time when it’s supposed to be very wet. Footing will be tough

      And I prefer a water bottle pocket or carabiner clipped water bottle (like Vapur) hooked to my backpack straps instead of a bladder. The water is instantly available.

      Puck1 reacted to KDub's post in the thread long sleeve Merino wool shirt for SUMMER with Like Like.
      I have lightweight merino sun hoodies in both 120 & 150 weight from SmartWool. I also have a great sun hoody from Ridge Merino. (That’s the mens version)

      Puck1 reacted to Paladina's post in the thread Pack Cover Failure with Like Like.
      No rain cover came with my Osprey Talon, so I've been using a same-size Sea to Summit cover on my weekly cross-country commute. It fits perfectly and, most importantly, has kept the contents perfectly dry throughout the wettest winter in living...

      Puck1 replied to the thread Merino wool shirt.
      I also like merino a lot and buy on sale, pretty much wherever I can find good prices. Usual brands smartwool, woolly, icebreaker, and woolx. I tend to like the lighter weight (150) and layer, if necessary. I take a tank for sleeping/base layer...

      Puck1 replied to the thread How to get from Lisbon airport to Porto?.
      I have flown to Lisbon, from the US, and traveled to Porto or on to other EU countries frequently. If you want the easiest option on arrival, fly to Porto in under an hour. I try to leave ~2 hours between flights and it’s been enough. Of course...

      Puck1 replied to the thread Under-Publicized Backpack Options?.
      I hope it works for you! I should say that I try to be careful with my base weight and it’s usually in the 9-11 pound range. Obviously not super light but low end of normal for the Camino? I also don’t carry water on my back since it’s so heavy...
