    Help with "industrial" suction-cup hook

    My wife has a non-Camino need for the very same, industrial-grade, suction-cup hook that someone posted in this section. I have spent better than 2 hours looking for the post, but without success. Please post a link to said hook? My wife absolutely needs it for use in the shower-stalls of her...

    Hiking Shoes vs. Boots -- One Experience

    Hey, all! This has been an often-discussed topic. Based on my recent experiences in central Europe, here's something to consider. My wife and I spent 20 days walking/hiking/wandering through several central European cities on a guided tour. Since we were always in the ancient city-centers...

    "Going Dark" until June

    Hey, all! I didn't know where to put this, so I'm putting it in the Equipment area because I've posted here more than anywhere else. My wife and I will be spending most of the month of May in central Europe (Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary), so I'm "going dark" on these boards. Rest...

    Your preference: Billed cap or full-brimmed hat?

    Hey all! This is one area where I've been going back and forth, back and forth. Both types of head-gear have their advantages and disadvantages. The billed cap keeps sun (and rain) out of your eyes, and works nicely with the hoods of insulating gear and rain gear. But said cap does nothing...

    "Feet Growing" while on Camino (??)

    I've read several times that people have experienced their feet swelling up to a full size or more while on the Camino. We were always taught to rest with our feet slightly higher than our hearts while taking a break from walking. Has anyone tried this on the Camino?

    Experience with Deuter ACT-Lite 40+10 pack?

    Hola! I am looking at the Deuter ACT-Lite 40+10 pack. I especially like its types and arrangement of pouches/pockets, much more than I do with similar Osprey packs. I will be heading out to an REI store next week to try one out, and I'd love to hear from anyone who has actually used one on...

    So Here's my (draft) packing list

    Still have several details to work out, but since we're not walking the CF until Fall 2019 I still have plenty of time. Thought I'd toss it up here for comments, suggestions, OMG's, what-have-you. One clarification: On the list you'll find a cigarette lighter, a small flashlight, a small...

    Water carried -- how much is enough?

    Folks, I read in several places that, on the CF, one small water bottle (approx. 500 ml) is generally enough to get from one water source to the next. I always thought that was cutting it a little close, especially for me -- if you even mention the idea of exercise, I break out in a sweat...

    External-frame Packs?

    I know they're fast becoming extinct, but I have a complete external-frame backpack that I first bought in the 1980s and have used danged near everywhere. I "customized" it by shortening the frame so that nothing sticks up above my jawline -- a necessary modification when one frequently travels...
