How many pairs of shoes did you go through?
In most cases, I believe the basic rule should be "One Camino, One Shoe". After 780km there will be little left of any sole (that is comfortable walking 780km straight with). Structural integrity will also become an issue and any special function will also not be special anymore. Outer material...- Sebastian Cohen

Gore tex shoes or boots?
That has more to do with wrong type of boots/wrong size of boots than with the GoreTex. Synthetic boots doesn't shrink (and doesn't expand much either). Leather might shrink or become stiffer after it has dried, but stretches more during the day. Feet will swell when you walk several days in a...- Sebastian Cohen

Gore tex shoes or boots?
Yes and no. Does that answer your question? ;) Like all things in today's society, everything is contentious and we are all fighting for our own standpoints like our lives depend on it. And we all like to stay with our own kind and scowl suspiciously at the others....personally I don't care...- Sebastian Cohen

Comment by 'Sebastian Cohen' in media 'Camino del Norte Packing List'
@Tania Reano Veitch It's driving you mad, isn't it? Aaarrrrrg! In the beginning, when we were checking out one or two new items to get, it was oh so exciting. NEW GEAR! When you try and get all that stuff with you......in you pack, that's when you go bonkers. As of right now, my pack weighs...- Sebastian Cohen

Comment by 'Sebastian Cohen' in media 'Camino del Norte Packing List'
This is one of the best set-ups for a packing list I have seen! Now, the most important with reading other peoples packin-lists OPP (made me think of the Naughty by Nature lyrics.....you down wih OPP....haha) is that it makes you THINK about your needs and the demands of the Caminos...- Sebastian Cohen

Wiki : Here's some great info about Spanish pre-paid SIM's
After checking extensively, I have come to the conclusion that Simyo is the best alternative for me....and I think for most. The reasons are : - Prepaid (Prepago) acts just like contract ie you set up an initial usage on several items and pay this each month. This can then be adjusted all the...- Sebastian Cohen

New shoes at the last minute
WHAT exactly is "a full size larger"? In UK size, would that be from size 7 to 7.5 or from 7 to 8? Thanks- Sebastian Cohen

Emergency last minute boot/shoe change! Size question...
So, this is turning into a little bit of an emergency. After walking in my Salomon GTX trail running shoes, it has become clear to me that my feet are not a good match to these specific shoes. After walking them in gradually for three weeks, I have developed tendonitis in both achilles tendons...- Sebastian Cohen

Overnight stay in Pamplona prior to SJPP
EDIT: I was checking trains from Alicante to Pamplona. I now see that my options are much much better going from Alicante-Madrid and then Madrid-Pamplona. Its actually almost the same price and it takes 5 hours all together and not 9 hours (train times only, not waiting time in Madrid...- Sebastian Cohen

Mindfulness on the camino
Mindfulness can also be practiced while using your gadgets or you tech or anything really. Mindfullness is more about being present in the now, only doing one thing at a time and noticing yourself, your surroundings....then ditching your tech. GRANTED, most (a lot, some, quite few) people have...- Sebastian Cohen

I have the Apple SD-card reader and can upload to Dropbox...but thats what I was hoping to avoid. Getting too deep into my tech stuff. I would like to keep on taking...- Sebastian Cohen

Washing your clothes
SO, DIRTY (oh sorry for shouting).....clothes is more than just smelly clothes. Smelly clothes is the easy part of the equation. Excessive sweating, dead skin cells, dirt from the Camino etc. etc. equals dirty clothes equals bacteria growth. This next to your oh oh so soft skin and the...- Sebastian Cohen

How much storage for your DSLR/mobile?
Thank God that extra storage doesn't take up any more space or add any more weight. But what it does do however is cost more. After spending a riddikulus amount on rain gear, I'm trying to be sensible with my money again. If not, I could just get two 128GB SDXC cards and be done with it...- Sebastian Cohen
