    Teva originals

    Teva sandals don't protect yr toes! Small stones do also easily enter under yr foot, and will cause problems. I suggest a test of KEEN's models. They are trustable and do protect yr toes!!

    That silly 10% rule

    The rest of their package (rice cooker etc) is perhaps forwarded to next albuerge by taxi ....?

    Walking poles and Qatar Airlines

    Folded knives are not peremitted, whatever. But others with a blade up to 60 mm are ok. Enough for cheese, tomatoes and als

    What Is The Most Useful & Usless Item You Packed

    Why do you think fishes in the sea needed the medical better than yourself??

    Toe nails

    No open-toe sandals! "Keen" have the best models. Otherwise stones very easily will come inside. And yr toes are not protected! Another thing is that u ought to have 10 mm free in front of yr toes. Otherwise u will have problems when the slope goes down, and yr feet will force forward in the shoe.

    Another shoes related question

    Keen sandals are ideal! Reva not because they are open in the front. Yr toes should be protected and fewer stones will come inside .... So always choose Keen! Good to have in the albuerge, evenings and as a reserve on the trail.

    First time walkers, poles?

    The difficulty is to get the poles attached to the hand-luggage. A bit more than 55 cm length, they can be tightened diagonal to the rucksac. At the check-in there is a testbox, and such a one can easily be made by cardboard with legal measures at home. Otherwise, buy a wooden one at arrival...

    Backpack in airline holds

    Maximal height for the rucksack as handluggage in Europe is 55 cm. I always fold my poles together and place them diagonal. Never a folding-knife! and The blade must not be more than 60 mm. Knifes made of plastic can divide sausages and cheese, and are also ok.

    A good alternative to OPO is Vigo (VGO), just beneath .... Good prices around 550 CAD. Always try "momondo.se" as yr search engine! / Bo

    How to organize a backpack:

    Nice idea with packinglist in pictures. But .... Folding-knife is not accepted in hand-luggage. And blade should be max 60 mm. Poncho - too windy and not good for legs. Jacket + trousers + backcoverage is better! 1,5 ltr bottle - more easy to handle 3 x 0,5 dl Walking socks in double layer...

    Norte

    Hi, I am from Sweden and rather new at this forum. The idea is to try Norte in April....

    Pack help please.

    The pack itself should be around 1 kg in weight. Basta! You get a better planning in what u really will need. And at the airport u meet a rule, that says: No more than 55 cm in height for hand luggage! But of course it´s better to go by train than by air. Then u are free to choose whatever u...

    Backpack

    Seize and weight depends on type of ticket and destination. Most freighters have 55x40x23 as maximum, it makes 44 litres for the rucksack. At the 'CheckIn-desk' there are boxes, where you can try if yr handluggage fits in seize - or if you have to pay extra (expensive!) and check it in. Weight...

    Backpack

    Most airfreighters set 55 cm as maximum for the handluggage. That makes 40-45 litres for the rucksack. Then it is important to visit a shop to test different models, because it is most important that the unit suits yr torso. Personal options like pockets (difficult for thieves!), hipbelt, colour...
