    Best tape to prevent blisters

    PART TWO Performance: Blister Prevention The primary test was how the Engo Blister Patch performed with loose (baggy) socks. If the loose sock material rubbed against the skin of my feet, then that would create the conditions for Shear Force Friction, which is the key factor for blister...

    Compostela: Electric Bikes Excluded?

    Compostela: Electric Bikes Excluded?

    Compostela: Electric Bikes Excluded?

    Modern technology for transport can either be discarded and traditions maintained as it pertains to the Caminos de Santiago. Or we must be mindful that if one exception to technology is made in the modern era it almost requires that continued exceptions be allowed. I see now that what had been...

    Compostela: Electric Bikes Excluded?

    Backpack or just a bag

    You are carrying necessities in your daypack. My preference would be to use the easiest to organize suitcase instead of a backpack for transporting stuff not carried. It is amazing the organization of small luggage these days, and for needing to quickly assess and pack and resupply, I would...

    Tom, damn you,. . . after the many issues you've had to deal with and recover from, and then carry on with Life, I would've been too embarrassed to just give up and pout about it. :) Thank you my friend. I hope that we can meet in SdC soon.
