    Need help cutting down on gear/weight in my pack 🙏

    Your #8 is IT.

    Sleeping bag versus puffy blanket

    I’ve used a similar blanket and/or a Turkish towel or pashmina for years traveling in countries around the Mediterranean. Works fine. I hate mummy bags. I’m 6’ and almost 200 pounds.

    Suggestions for Lightening my Backpack for a 6-day Camino Walk

    I like your packing list, a lot. But…budget. Could you suggest a 30 liter pack about the same weight for under 100. US?

    New Ultralight Rain Jacket

    Very interesting. What fabric did you use?

    My ultimate packing list

    Ah. My misunderstanding, when I saw your quilt I thought you were preparing to bivouac if needed.

    Good outfit. No sleeping mat?

    Clothing packing!

    A tip you might find useful one day, if you get caught like that tie a length of cord around the outside of your poncho like a belt. Stops flapping but still provides protection. I give all my students plastic ponchos and nylon cord before starting out. Many cannot afford a rain jacket and by...

    Clothing packing!

    Sounds like you have a good, sensible start, and you've received good advice. A few tips you might find useful: 1. Using a small, lightweight pack helps to keep weight down and to promote minimalism. 2. As others have mentioned, everything is available in Europe, and usually at lower prices...

    Pilgrims & Lovers, a novel set on the Camino

    Thanks Mike. Sounds like you also have a story to tell. How did you like Leon? My wife injured her knee and we hung out in Leon for some days waiting for her to recover. Nice town, we thought.

    Pilgrims & Lovers, a novel set on the Camino

    I did take a look at that book on Amazon. What struck me is that Pilgrims & Lovers is written in first person with each chapter alternating voices. This is an unusual structure, one that I chose for personal reasons. There is a similar structure in this other book, although it was written by two...

    Pilgrims & Lovers, a novel set on the Camino

    Hurry, There is no shortage of dumb in the publishing and movie business. Thanks for the book suggestion and the encouragement. I started this project ten years ago. Shelved it after not getting a good response from a publisher. Be well, Morgan

    Pilgrims & Lovers, a novel set on the Camino

    Hi Miki, Thanks for your comments. I can well imagine how intrusive and inappropriate the behavior would have been. My characters are adults and would never do such a thing. Sandra is a widow. Logan is trying to deal with a divorce. Although they meet on the Camino, their affair only comes...

    Pilgrims & Lovers, a novel set on the Camino

    Folks, I’m posting this to ask forum members their opinion. I’m a professional writer with ten published books and over a hundred articles in major publications. I was taken by the mystery and romance of the Camino decades ago. I’ve traveled it a number of times and will likely do again, if I’m...
