My blessed wife mended it, how it will hold is the question. I hesitate to buy a second one because I intended to use these on my upcoming Camino in August and I don't want them to disintegrate half way along.
I am new to the world of Merino wool , the price tag has been my main stay away issue but a few months ago I bought some socks from Darn Tough and Danish Endurance. I have been very blessed with feet that survived the military and forty years of walking and generally I’ve not had issues with...
I have been blessed with traveling for thirty-eight years and part of that has been hiking. I've seen tremendous improvements in gear, a little inflation in prices and I carry a whole lot more Rx than at seventeen 😳 the biggest issue is insulin and keeping it cool. I have a device that I will...
My picture is of Mount Tabor or Har Tavor found in the Book of Judges. My back door here in the Galilee, Israel offers a variety of hikes from 1.5 hours to six and half covering 26km. It's very thought provoking to literally walk in areas where Jesus undoubtedly did so two thousand years ago.
When you walked did you bury it where the air couldn't circulate?
This is my concern, placement. If it's too close to the sun that's no good but if you bury it then the whole cooling process is disrupted or so I would think....
Hello Graham, I to own and have used the Frio X-large pack but I have used it internationally, get to my destination and leave it out on the dresser with no problem.
You have used it walking in the hotter months and my question is how do you place it that the bag gets air to keep cool . Any...
That was interesting to read through. Weight is certainly an issue for so many it seems so a book is not going to make the cut for many. I think about down time personally, I walk now routinely for six hours and I sleep 5 to 6 hours a night. That leaves me with half a day. There's showering...
I was surprised when I did a search that nothing came up on the topic so here we go.
Is it common in the albergues to have a few shelves of books free to take and exchange out ones you have?
I have three Osprey packs including a new 38 Kestrel and all of them are a nightmare to use that feature for me. I have thought that a larger toothed zipper would resolve this.
Have you ever researched something to the point that the more you read the more confused you end up? That’s me on trying to buy a stupid shirt.
What I desire is a long sleeve Merino wool shirt suitable for hot weather. I hike in 35 to 40 degree celcius and I imagine that the temps in September...
OK so wool for older people means warmth and itchiness . I have a few pairs of Merino wool socks and I wear them in 40 Celsius here in the desert and they dry nicely during rest breaks. I was under the impression that a Merino wool shirt would do the same....sometimes when I'm near a purchase it...
Greetings, I generally do my research before I post a question and that is certainly the case here. I’ve never spent upwards of over a hundred dollars on a shirt in my entire half century plus of life so you can appreciate my apprehension. I have read the few threads here, on Readit, countless...
I have had in the past leg cramps so bad it has thrown me out of bed, once almost out a 6th floor window in Quito. My wife who has experience working in an old age home says that the nurses would give salt to such sufferers and that would immediately resolve the problem. So for the past 8 years...
