Anyone have the Dueter Trial Pro 34L? Thoughts please. I'm an Osprey person, but really like this bag and wondering what others think? I know it's not the lightest of packs but looking for pros and cons please.
I am a Merrell girl myself. I have the ankle boots you mention and heat was not a problem for me, I did stop and take my shoes off when I rested, no blisters. I have now switched to Moab's high boots. I like the ankle support.
You know what you like so get what you know works for you.
Yes. I found that people tend to say that things are not difficult so that others don't feel like they can't do it. But just recently, I saw someone say, "what is hard for me may not be hard for you" and then sent an image of the topography, which I thought was very kind and honest.
I got mine here in Pittsburgh from a fish market. I had a friend paint the cross of St. James on it and drilled two holes on it to put on my back pack.
JillGate why in the world would you joke about such a thing! I too was a young one traveling around Europe in 1972-a time when it was much safer and most parents were more strict. And I too had the time of my life. But lying was not apart of it.
Times have changed. Don't help Rasika learn...
Jim ?
Hello there again. September is around the corner and you must be getting ready to go on your next Camino. I leave for the Portugese on the 9th. We should meet up and try to get a group going in Pittsburgh - maybe a "MeetUp"?
Hey Jim I too live in the South Hills, where are you? I actually live on the Hilltop just above the South side!!!!
how can we meet up? I work in town for the County.
Dahhhhhhhhhhhhh. That was it! LOL. Thank you so much for the following through on this with me. LOL. I got rid of those, filled it and my straps are fine!
but my clasps don't come together or hide. I am fine with that.
why not leave the poles behind and pick one up when you arrive, you will most likely get on for less than the shipment cost, then you can carry your bag.
Any ideas on a light weight Journal to carry? I don't want to use an electronic device, I still prefer paper and pen, but my journal, which is spiral bound, appears to be too heavy! Any journal writers have light weight options?
Johann, I'm a hotel person myself. I like to walk my pace and I don't want to worry about a place to sleep. When I was on the Camino last year, I like your wife, peeped in the albergue and just knew I could not be comfortable there, yes the hotels can be expensive, but I need quiet at the end...
