    LIVE from the Camino Help!!

    I am sitting in a Hotel room in Burgos, where I bussed this morning. I've been on the Camino since the 12th and now have to sit out. I've had knee problems, which I can manage with Ibuprofen and a brace. What I can't manage is this hip/ butt sciatic pain that goes all the way down my leg and...

    Flight keeps getting delayed.

    Should I worry that my flight has been changed 4 times. It was supposed to leave at 7:10 Pm and it is now 8:24 PM. Does this mean there is a problem with the flight? I also can't check in online. That has never happened before. Worry or not? Other worry--Are people treading water on the...

    For Sale/Wanted RIBZ Front Pack

    I have a RIBZ Front Pack for sale. It is a medium Stealth Black in color. It is very adjustable. You put it on before your back pack and you can't even feel it. Its very well made, but I just feel like it's too masculine and I feel like I am headed to the gun range when I am wearing it...

    "P-Style" urinary device for women.

    Ok, I'm just going to say it. (Look away, men) I just received the "P-Style" standing urinary device for women. It is amazing. I used it for the first time and my performance was flawless. It is a firm plastic that can't squish in or needs to used with two hands or you risk peeing all over...

    Smashed toe

    I am waiting for a new pair of shoes to come tomorrow, as I have decided the Merrell Kapra hiking shoes are too narrow for my right foot. I am getting the New Balance Leadville 1210. Lots of shoe drama since I started my Camino preps and I've been through multiple pairs. Today, I dropped a 3...

    Pre Camino anxiety

    Is it just a normal thing to start feeling kind of irritable and having crazy Camino dreams about 4 weeks before you leave for your Camino. I can't place my finger on why I'm feeling anxious and irritable. That is just not my normal state. I had a dream last night, that I was caught out in a...

    Nutrition

    Would some of you "Camino Veterans" please share what you have learned by experience about good nutrition on the trail and what worked for you as far as meals or snacks, for keeping up your energy, and what didn't work so well. How did you prevent "hitting the wall"?

    Twanging trekking poles

    I took my trekking poles out for the first time for a long hike today. It feels quite natural and I did notice how it seemed to propel me forward. My concern for my mental health, is every time I plant my pole, it makes a twanging sort of sound. I know it will drive me crazy!! (my sister...

    Mind over Matter

    I went out for my first hike with my fully packed back pack. It weighed 17 lbs. I didn't feel it in my back so much, as my pack fits well, I just got tired much sooner. That was only a 5 mile walk. Help!!! For you Camino experts, what helped you continue on when your mind said stop and you...

    Scrubba Bag

    I am taking a Scrubba bag with me on my Camino. I don't want to be waiting in a long line to use a sink to do laundry, I would rather be exploring the town. As you have to be able to use things in more than one way, I have all my clothes, socks, sleeping system (in a compression sack) packed...

    Shoes, again!

    I'm sorry to be asking again, but does anyone remember a post where they talked about a certain shoe "last" that was good for a narrow heel, held the midfoot snugly and had a wide toe box? I'm back to the drawing board as far as shoes go. I had to return my mostly perfect and broken in shoes...
