To rainwear or not?
Just get some Frogg Toggs and you are good. They are huge, extremely lightweight, unless Goretex they never wet out and best of all, you can have them for like 15 bucks.- Rudie

Oviedo to Santiago
Absolutely doable in 13 days and with trail runners or sandals. I hiked Norte and Primitivo in 2017, switching between trail runners and sandals. If it rains, just embrace the suck and accept that you are going to have wet feet or wear some plastic bags over your socks inside the shoes. You'll...- Rudie

Le Puy-en-Velay to Conques - Pants in July ? Really mandatory ?
You could take some wind pants just in case. Body Wrappers dance pants weigh about 85 grams and cost next to nothing. Certainly lighter than convertible pants. You could also take a polycryo groundsheet for your tent and use it as a rain skirt in case of heavy rain. That way you wouldn't have to...- Rudie

A new pack that could be a Camino fav!
I don't think there is such a thing as a panel loader in the 40-50 L range that weighs only a kilo or less. I don't see the love for panels either. If you want to keep your stuff really dry you need to use a trash compactor bag anyway. And if you use that you have to pull everything out of it...- Rudie

Vaseline - Is it an Essential Item to Pack?
That's actually not true. I had coconut oil with me as I use it for my skin, as a hair conditioner, and together with baking powder as a deodorant and as a tooth paste. I got chafing between my cheeks after the third day and had nothing else for treatment, so I used the oil. It worked like a...- Rudie

camino primitivo in middle september?
@Redhead Keith: I walked the Primitivo in October 2017. The weather was great and I could wear shorts most of the time. I started in Irun, so I had a bit of training before the Primitivo started, but I wouldn't worry too much. Most of the time it is not challenging at all, except for the...- Rudie
