    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

    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...

    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 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.

    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...

    Pick a Stick

    I've never used dual poles to walk but I'm thinking about doing it this go around. I currently own one pole made by Komperdell from Austria and it seems to be pretty good after seven years of use. But as Murphy's law would have it I can't find a match here at home but there is a ton of makers...

    Brag about your bag!

    Did you find a sleeping bag that was good? Why? I'd like some direction myself, I'm 6 feet tall\183 cm and a chest 56"\142 cm so bags for me are difficult, I feel like I'm stuffing the meat back inside the casing of a hotdog. Since most places indoors won't be freezing cold I was thinking of a...

    What was the coolest thing you were ever gifted on the trail?

    On some known trails it is practice- by some- to give a memento of some sort to a either a person who you feel inclined to do so or to leave it in a place for someone to find. Have you ever been a recipient of this type of thing or have you been the giver?

    Have I gotten the wrong idea?

    Greetings from Israel. I have been doing my homework so to speak and I've watched a number of long documentaries on YouTube showing some people's perspective of their journey. Something that has caught my eye but was never addressed in any of the videos so far is the fact that men and women are...
