    Sleeping with valuables

    I have read various posts about carrying your valuables, such as money, passports, etc, while walking, showering, etc but what do people do while asleep? Do you continue to wear them? Are they safe in your pack overnight? Just trying to figure out the logistics of it all as it relates to...

    sock cleaning

    Hello all, I have read suggestions to coat your feet in Vaseline or something like that in an effort to prevent blisters.

    Insole question

    Hello all, As I prepare for my camino, I have developed plantar fasciitis. I know I have low arches and in need of some arch support. All of the insole supports that I have seen require you to remove the current insoles of the shoes and replace with the new supports. I am hesitant to rip out...

    Hello all, I am probably at least a year or more away from being able to actually start my Camino. Presently I am just trying to read up and learn as much as I can.
