    Peregrinas, did you use your urination device on your camino?

    I use the SheWee on all of my hikes. Saves having to take off the 40lb backpack or try getting up from a squat with it on. Practised until I got confident with it. I use hiking pants and, yes, most of them have a short zipper but you can manage to get positioned without exposing everything or...

    High Tech Fabrics

    The pack of four towels don't get stiff when dry and remain wet and cold almost for an entire day. They are also very light, don't really have any weight to them unless soaking wet with water, don't take up any space. My adult kids were very skeptical about them (they actually laughed at me) but...

    High Tech Fabrics

    The ones I used are the 2nd ones with the waffle weave. They come in a package of four and there were four of us. My kids ended up keeping theirs because they liked them so much and one of my sons uses his on every hike and bike trip.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Spain rolls out the European Union’s Digital Covid Certificate system

    In BC, Canada, we get a card where the dates of the 1st and second vaccines, along with the type of vaccine and lot number is written. BC also has a website where you can register your vaccination and it can easily be pulled up on your smartphone.

    High Tech Fabrics

    We walked through Slovenia in 30+C degree weather. I purchased cooling towels online (retailer starts with "A"). You wet them, wrap them around your neck or head and they stay cold the entire day. If they do happen to dry out and your sweat doesn't rehydrate them :), just pour a little water on...

    Toilet Paper Alternatives for Camino. . maybe?

    My late dutch mother told me that the female field workers had underwear with slits in the crotches so they could squat in the fields and do their business (#1) with their long skirts giving themselves privacy. I like the SheWee and once you get the hang of it, there are no issues using it.

    I have one too and it works very well. And, you don't really need TP afterwards either.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD A return to a more basic camino?

    I really enjoyed reading this series of emails. I remember my struggles with internet cafes and the European keyboard during my travels in southern France. One internet café in Paris (obviously the wrong section to have been in) had machine gun armed police outside. Another, in a coffee house...

    New members and old posts

    This is my second post. Definitely a newbie to the forum. The COVID has delayed my first Camino start date of April 25 to who knows when. I am put off by the suggestion of limiting newbies posts. While I have enough experience to check the dates of the post I am replying to, a lot of users may...

    Toilet Paper Alternatives for Camino. . maybe?

    Last year we were fortunate to do a long walk on trails from just outside Ljubljana, Slovenia to Trieste, Italy. One memorable spot was almost right on the trail where it was obvious a group of people had stopped to take a "break" and left everything out for anyone else passing to see. It was...
