    long sleeve Merino wool shirt for SUMMER

    Have you ever researched something to the point that the more you read the more confused you end up? That’s me on trying to buy a stupid shirt. What I desire is a long sleeve Merino wool shirt suitable for hot weather. I hike in 35 to 40 degree celcius and I imagine that the temps in September...

    Merino wool shirt

    OK so wool for older people means warmth and itchiness . I have a few pairs of Merino wool socks and I wear them in 40 Celsius here in the desert and they dry nicely during rest breaks. I was under the impression that a Merino wool shirt would do the same....sometimes when I'm near a purchase it...

    Merino wool shirt

    Well I was back to Google with "mulesing-free merino". Poor sheep

    Merino wool shirt

    Greetings, I generally do my research before I post a question and that is certainly the case here. I’ve never spent upwards of over a hundred dollars on a shirt in my entire half century plus of life so you can appreciate my apprehension. I have read the few threads here, on Readit, countless...

    Electrolytes Help. I forgot my Nuun

    I have had in the past leg cramps so bad it has thrown me out of bed, once almost out a 6th floor window in Quito. My wife who has experience working in an old age home says that the nurses would give salt to such sufferers and that would immediately resolve the problem. So for the past 8 years...

    SAINT-JEAN (1st Day) failure rate 40%?!

    Greetings, I have read and watched in the neighborhood of about fifty hours of material regarding the Camino and each time I learn something new. A frequent mention of the first day is "it's hard, but you'll be fine!" coupled with a recent video of a young couple half my age huffing and puffing...

    Any idea on what this is?

    I'm not able to b\c of the shape.

    Any idea on what this is?

    I found this in a box of converters for plug-ends but it certainly is not that. It looks like it might be a light or maybe one of those devices that emits a sound that keeps mosquitoes away? I don't even know where it came from.

    Bad experience Logrono

    House rules being what they are I would follow them. That said I can't understand the logic here with backpacks. I've been to more than a hundred hostels around the world and I've never heard of this. Bedbugs are no fun but if they are going to be transferred it's most likely going to be either...

    Entering France with a "Deported" stamp in my passport

    This particular topic comes up frequently in the OPED of the Friday Jerusalem Post, always bad stories to try and warn others making the same mistake. It's common for young Israelis to go to America and at times over stay their welcome and hence getting 'red stamped' . Replacing the passport...

    Entering France with a "Deported" stamp in my passport

    If you get 'red stamped' it's in the computer, it's not a matter of simply getting a new paper passport and starting over :(

    Google Map from start to finish

    I just now downloaded MiCamino- a bit reluctant as it wants access to my camera and photos- I looked at the map but I haven't a clue as to how to overlay that onto Google Maps

    Google Map from start to finish

    Did as you instructed, they down-loaded just fine but of course Windows won't open it on my computer. Windows has the following information about this file type. This page will help you find software needed to open your file. File Type: Unknown Description: Windows does not recognize this...

    Google Map from start to finish

    Greetings, I have been searching Google Map for the full route of the Camino and I've come up with nothing which seems odd. I'm not looking to use it for actual navigating but rather a up date for my contact people who I want to stay in touch with and for a general idea of where I'm heading to...

    More than one credencial or passport?

    +Regarding the stamps-sellos: besides the albergues and cathedrals are there other places that are authorized to stamp this card?

    Pick a Stick

    There's something to be said for availability too. Here we are dominated by one chain of stores nationally and you get to pick from what they want to provide. There's a lot of quality stuff but you'll pay a princely sum for it too. I've had my single walking stick well on eight years now and I...

    Pick a Stick

    That was the sentiment I picked up on

    Pick a Stick

    Well reading all of this and the two threads that were recommended above the votes are well in favor of the Pacer Poles. So I'm ready to order these beauties but now my dilemma is alloy or Carbon!?
