    How important is a rock plate for CF?

    This is more like a walk than a hike. I wore lightweight trailrunners…Could do in sandals except gravel gets inside.
  2. H

    Either Or

    1. Comfort 2. Not waterproof….too hot and heat makes blisters 3. Low…like Lone Star or other trail runners 4. Good Merino wool socks 5. Toe socks like injinjis or other liner socks 6. Take shoes off after every hour or so of walking…rinse feet in cool water and dry…or just cool them in air. And...

    Learning Spanish Podcast - Recommendations?

    I have used Duo Lingo....but recently found "Spanish with Paul" on YouTube. It is much more effective (IMO)....and free....My sister is using Michelle Thomas Spanish...which is not free, but also highly recommended.

    Camino Portuguese

    Yes, this is helpful....I used the Wise Pilgrim on the Norte...didn't realize it had Portugese also...great. Brierly...many love it....for me, it is a little overwhelming.

    Join the quest for the perfect panel loading camino pack?

    Trecile I am confused by the "one size fits all"....is it somehow adjustable? What size torso do you have? Most backpacks that I've tried have been ordered specifically by torso length....and maybe a separate measurement for waist...So, I am curious...

    Camino Portuguese

    What guide books and "Ancient Texts" did you pore over to make your plan....cuz I am considering the same, i.e., switching back and forth to see all three routes? Thanks!

    The Lush shampoo bar review thread

    Seems like "Jill" would be a common name...but I've only met a few in my life..

    The Lush shampoo bar review thread

    I just bought the Karma Komba and the Brazilliant. I find the smell overwhelming. I hope it fades or I will have to leave it outside on the deck. I won't be able to carry it in a backpack.

    Camino del Norte

    The first part of the norte was my favorite. I would not invite family for the last part. That might discourage them from ever walking the complete Camino.

    THANK YOU!

    A new pack that could be a Camino fav!

    OK...so I tried out the ULA OHM 2.0. There is a lot to like about the pack. The hip belt is super comfortable and supportive. Plenty of room for all my gear. .... But...it is too much pack for me, if that makes sense. I need something simpler. And I couldn't get it to fit just right. The search...

    Women's Lightweight Hoody

    Michelle, To which Half-zip Cragshopper are you referring? I am looking at the Miska half-zip. It has raglan sleeves...so removing them would not be so easy.

    Women's Lightweight Hoody

    Thanks for the response, Michelle. I wish they had this in a vest......When i search on microfleece, i get few results. I think...not sure....sleeves might bother me.

    A new pack that could be a Camino fav!

    Can't wait to test it out. I have been watching the videos....on fitting...etc...I especially enjoyed the video about the 'guts' of the packs... Kiki Outdoors: What's Inside the OHM, Circuit, and Catalyst. Will let y'all know what it feels like...and if it works for me.

    A new pack that could be a Camino fav!

    PERFECT!......I have just put in an order for the OHM. I do backpacking on the AT etc...with Hammock and gear....plus the Camino, and other trekking ... I have been using an OSPREY Sirrus, ...tired of it...and going lighter every time. Thank you so much for your thoughtful responses. I...

    A new pack that could be a Camino fav!

    Economy ticket...is usually one bag, under seat. So there is a savings.....I feel good having a pack I can just put under the seat....and easily swing into a bus, etc....I am minimalist personality....Do not want to sacrifice my health though. Reading this over...I see how ridiculous it sounds...
