    Osprey Exos 48 good pack for Camino?

    Socks and Crocks

    No I am not asking the perceived question, " is acceptable to wear socks with sandals or crocs". Coming from a country with four distinct seasons I find myself (in summer) wearing sockless crocs the majority of the time. Not the traditional crocs, but the 'santa cruz" type which resembles a...

    most unfortunate, stolen I phones and tablets
