    Altus poncho modification ...

    Linda, modifying the Altus is definitely worth trying. We experienced the same condensation issues in the sleeves last year - I alternated between taking the sleeves off and putting them back on again when the rain started in again - but more ventilation in the sleeves would be extremely...

    Reservations for Orrison

    Keep trying - and you might call. It took me several emails, both from the contact form on the website and from a direct email. Finally 2 weeks ago or so, I got a response, and directions to send half the night's fee via Paypal. We'll be there the night of the 15th. Yay! Now I just have to...

    electricity in the albergues?

    Unless he reconsiders, my husband will be lugging his biPAP machine - about 4 lbs - because he's so much better with it. On a walk with our local soCal Camino chapter in July, we learned that there are many sleep-apnea-afflicted pilgrims who bring their CPAPs or BiPAPs along. He's used a...

    Anyone have experience with a Campmor poncho?

    Although I have the Sea-to-Summit poncho, rather than the Campmor, they have the same design. Everything Falcon says is true, although with some minor gymnastics and a few pokes with a pole, it only takes one person to put it on. However, it is lighter weight than carrying a rain jacket and rain...

    30 L (28L Actually) Pack big enough -- Or 40 L better ---

    James, check out the ULA Catalyst or other packs made by ULA: http://www.ula-equipment.com/index.asp . Cottage industry rules in the ultralight backpacking world. Bunches of PCT and AT thru-hikers use these (we finally broke down and replaced our aging Dana packs with them this year). They...

    Get your ALTUS in SJPP - Order Ahead

    Knife?

    This discussion on knives has me wondering - we plan on checking our backpacks on our flight from LAX to Paris, staying a day or so there, then proceeding by train to SJPP. Should we just mail our Opinel knives to the pilgrim office or the poste there? Is there the same prohibition on knives...

    Advice for the Traveling Photographer

    I have similar issues to Markloft's - I love reliving the experience looking the quality photos I'm able to capture with my current Canon 50D and a couple of decent non-kit lenses, not to mention the occasional rental lens. But for the Camino I'm thinking I should leave it at home, perhaps...

    Class of 2012

    Hello, fellow pilgrims! My husband (Chuck) and I are planning to start the Camino Frances in September 2012. We have not decided on a specific start date yet, and may backtrack from when we can book a spot (or two) at Orisson. We hope to visit some of my French cousins first, in Nantes and...
