    Plastic Storage Bins in Santiago???

    Thanks for all the replies!!!! 🙏🙏🙏 The problem with bags/wraps... is that they don't protect the backpack's internal frame (I use Osprey Backpacks with a metal frame) from getting bent. I wrapped my backpack on my first Camino, but upon arrival, the airline severely bent the metal frame in...

    Plastic Storage Bins in Santiago???

    I'm flying from the USA to start my Camino this week. I will check my backpack, and to protect it, I will ship it in a plastic storage bin like this one: Rather than shipping the storage bin to Santiago, I'm wondering if I could buy something similar in Santago for my return flight home. Any...

    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    How is the ventilation on your G4??? I sweat like pig :-) so ventilation is important to me. My Osprey does a great job of keeping my back dry. This new Rab has some ventilation, but not nearly as good as the Osprey. Thanks!

    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    The side pockets have an opening on the side (might be hard to see in the photos) and are very easy to access and the material is very stretchy. The pockets on the shoulder straps are big enough to hold my Sony Rx-100 camera (which is a big plus for me since I take lots of photos along the...

    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    Because it was what I was using (48l) for my first 2 Caminos (when I did a daily blog and had to carry a laptop, charger, mouse cables, camera...). I'm trying a lightweight approach this time and not doing a daily blog... So I don't need 48l, and I am trying 28l. Plus, I'm finding that with...

    My Secret Weapon for Blisters

    FYI... I only used ChapGPT to rewrite my content to spice it up with some humor/flair to the content. It does a decent job and can add a little fun to the content (if you know how to use the right prompts)

    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    YEAH... I was thinking the same thing. :cool: But it seems like it keeps my clothes less wrinkled, so there is an added benefit.
