    Packing List - What's missing?

    Reflective shoelaces are a wonderful idea! Old margarine containers are a camping staple for me, but my pack size doesn't accommodate for anything that large (thus, the collapsable bowl/ziplock alternative). Where did you find your Swiss card?

    Packing List - What's missing?

    My dresses are from Marmot -- https://www.marmot.com/wms-genevieve-dress/889169908910.html Pros - Very comfortable, bra included, hits just above my knees, moisture wicking, dries quickly, doesn't stain, holds shape after washing, doesn't look like "hiking" apparel so I can wear them out at...

    Thanks for the tips!

    Packing List - What's missing?

    Rest assured, my deodorant will remain packed. :) I don't like vaseline on my feet, but I might buy a menthol rub at a pharmacy there if I need it and decide the smell is worth it. I think I've heard of smell-light versions of Icy Hot. Pepto tablets are a great idea!

    Packing List - What's missing?

    Good idea to have the shampoo bar replace my Dr. B's. How do the shampoo with conditioner bars work for washing clothes? I would have guessed they leave residue. I'm pretty confident in my headlamp -- same one my stepdad uses, so I might be biased. :) I'll leave the second scarf/towel at home.

    Packing List - What's missing?

    Thank you for the advice! I'm going with a dress because it won't ride down as I walk or if I lose weight along the way. I've heard great things about the Macabi and might have to keep my eyes open for a sale. Good advice about the shampoo/conditioner trial. I'm not a fan of soap leaves (too...

    Packing List - What's missing?

    Good to know about the earplugs and albergue night noise. I was bringing extra pairs, but will ditch these knowing that the noise is less of an issue. I'm usually a pretty sound sleeper. Re: belly pouch, I have waist pockets where I can keep petty cash, and can pretty easily reach the top...

    Packing List - What's missing?

    Thank you for all of the advice! Much appreciated. I go with a bladder because I have a tendency to not drink enough as I hike (my pack doesn't have easily accessable side pockets). My chacos should be okay for the shower and to let me feet "breathe" at the end of the day.

    Packing List - What's missing?

    Great to know! I'm an introvert, and the option for making a place to retreat or sleep "alone" is appealing.

    Packing List - What's missing?

    Hi all, Long time reader, first time poster. I'll be walking my first Camino this June/July (Norte, Primitivo and Finisterre). I'm coming in around 7.5kgs skin-out weight before food/water, so about 5kg pack weight depending on what I'm wearing. The weight is okay for my size, but would love...
