I've been using Movavi, a free video editing software I found on https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/free-video-editing-software-no-watermark.html.
It doesn't leave any watermarks on your footage, which I really appreciate (definitely a notch above some out there!). Plus, it's pretty...
Thank you! After rearranging my bag a bit, it looks a lot less bulky.
Thanks everyone for the reassurance. Like I said, I've never taken anything bigger than a school backpack, so something this "big" made me unsure.
I bought a travel-sized bottle for sunscreen. It is 100mL or about 3.4 oz. Everything else I have is less or in solid form. I bought BodyGlide, which looks like a deodorant stick, for chaffing and blister prevention. It is 1.5 oz, but it shouldn't really matter because it's a solid, not a...
I was thinking of bringing my old glasses as a backup since my prescription is so strong that I don't think any of the glasses at a store would help. My friends make fun of my relative blindness whenever they try on my glasses! I mean, I've had these for four years (the eye doctor couldn't give...
Yeah, I'm currently going through my packing list to see what I can get rid of. My 33L isn't full. There's probably about 20% room left in it. It's just that I'm worried it'll look "bulky" to a TSA agent. I think it helped when I tightened the compression straps, as they got rid of excess air in...
I've already bought this pack from a local store several months ago. I can't afford to just buy another $100 pack. I appreciate the suggestion, but "just go smaller" isn't feasible for me.
I couldn't decide to put this question in Equipment or Traveling to/from the camino. I figured here is a good place as any! Sorry if this has been discussed before. I tried searching carry-on and got over 200 results.
After looking up the guidelines for carry-on sizes for the different airlines...
...and suggestions! You don't really have to reply, but since I've posted last, I'll show my updated packing list.
Once again, starred items ( * ) are not yet in my bag.
Toiletries
Dental floss (travel-sized)
Toothbrush (folds in on itself)
Toothpaste (travel-sized)
Shampoo bar (2/3 of one...
I appreciate the links and suggestions. I have found that most people on here suggest really expensive items. At least, to me. Most of what I'm bringing I've already owned or bought from Amazon. I only went all out on my hiking shoes and backpack, which I bought from a local outdoor store...
That's a good idea! I have a small tupperware bowl I could use. It was from a dollar store, so I won't care if it breaks or I throw it away after the trip.
Thank you for you commendation. He's been my best friend since sixth grade. Like I said, I don't drink much anyways, probably three times a...
Loving all the ideas! I'll try to reply to them all in one post.
I saw a lot of people recommending a corkscrew and even looked for one on a keychain. But, my friend was in AA and has been sober for nearly a year. I don't want to shove it in his face by drinking in front of him. I'm not much...
Thanks for the reply!
Yeah, it may even be less conditioner than listed. My friend in Spain picked up a travel-sized bottle of conditioner at an AirBnB. Those are typically smaller than 100 mL, but I was just estimating since I'm not getting it until I get there. He also has the plug adapter...
...my packing list, that would be great! We're starting from Roncesvalles either May 31st or June 1st. It depends on when my friend is done teaching.
* Things that I still need to get.
Also, I know it might seem like I have a lot of preventative measures for injuries and maybe over-killing it...
I'm fairly certain instead of a towel, I'm going to bring a sarong instead. It can double as a skirt to walk around town and for church, as well as a privacy screen. I would like to hear thoughts from people who have actually done it. Which would be the best material and how well does it...
It's not a sleeping bag but rather a liner. I figured it would be fine for June. Including the bag it came with, it is 9 ounces, or 255 grams, and was around $13.

I know what you mean. I've learned to chill about some things. Right now the only thing I'm "stressing over" is what kind of clothing to bring. We're leaving the end of May and walking all through June, and I don't know how hot or cold it will be. Looking at past years, it seems like it's 65-80...
That's what I thought. I might have to borrow someone's to make it easier on what to leave behind. I was just going to weigh my total pack on the bathroom scale and hope it was around 15 pounds or so!
