    Via Podiensis and Outdoor Active App.

    Thanks both. I would still like to know from anyone specifically using the Outdoor Active App., however. If there's anyone please? I use it everywhere and it's excellent for many reasons. I will be camping.

    Via Podiensis and Outdoor Active App.

    Does anyone here use the Outdoor Active App.? If so, can you recommend a stage-by-stage Via Podiensis set of downloads or that I can save to My Map on the app.? I have the Cicerone Guide uploaded, but wouldn't mind downloading section by section from a recommended subscriber (who''s uploaded...

    Hello. A perhaps common question re camping and what you carry

    Sorry Alex and thankyou. I'll reply as soon as I can. Appreciate you getting touch. Bit chaotic here at the moment. LOL :)

    Hello. A perhaps common question re camping and what you carry

    It's late tonight as I'm seeing your very helpful replies and I'll try my best to respond more cogently as soon as I'm able to. Especially if the following makes no sense. Thanks to all for your helpful responses. I'll mention a few things though for as long as my sleepy head allows. Somebody...

    Hello. A perhaps common question re camping and what you carry

    Thanks jeanineonthecamino. That's very helpful. Perhaps I might have to consider taking my bivy bag as well, for times when it's not practical or easy to setup my tent discreetly. What do you think? As for food and, cookware (I carry a small MSR stove and gas canister), are you saying I...

    Hello. A perhaps common question re camping and what you carry

    Thanks Trecile. I'll look.

    Hello. A perhaps common question re camping and what you carry

    Thanks for your insight Alex. It's helpful. Lofoten, Senja Vesteralen and Kvaloya are the regions I usually camp and hike, and for up to 3 months at a time. Even between May and late September, I agree, far more gear and weather readiness is needed. I've never, though, hiked any sort of...

    Hello. A perhaps common question re camping and what you carry

    Yes. Apologies for the slow reply. I didn't receive a reply notification. Yes, very much so. My whole intention is to camp, whether stealthy wildcamping, leave no trace (I've been advised on the opportunities to wildcamp in France along the GR65 in depth and it's feasibility), or in campsites...

    Hello. A perhaps common question re camping and what you carry

    Hi Apologies for my naievity. I have only just started posting here after 2 years, but I now have enough free time to 'walk'. For people who carry a tent and backpack, can anyone please recommend a past thread (if such a one exists), where people have compared or recommended backpack and...

    Osprey Atmos AG 65 hip pockets question

    Ha-ha! Thanks Tom. I will. :D

    Osprey Atmos AG 65 hip pockets question

    Thanks both. That's useful info. Back to 'fiddling'. :)

    Osprey Atmos AG 65 hip pockets question

    Quick one. The hip pockets on this have a velcro backing and with 'apparent' adjustment arrows on the actual belt. Can't for the life of me see how to 'move' them along further around to the front of the hipbelt. They seem very much stitched in place. I actually thought they were NOT movable...

    Thankyou 👍😊

    Daft question - External packing of Leki Micro Vario Trekking poles - Z-type

    Fabulous davebugg. Solid sensible advice. Thankyou. I've read this through but will send it to my PC for printing out to read and absorb properly at my leisure later; It's not as if I don't have time on my hands at the moment stuck at home. :) Thankyou for taking so much time and effort. If I...

    Daft question - External packing of Leki Micro Vario Trekking poles - Z-type

    Thanks both. There's a lot here to absorb and consider. And all of it useful. Just so that you may gulp! and probably laugh at my expense (no problem btw), you can perhaps understand where I'm coming from in wanting to go lighter on this next cold-weather ONLY mountain trekking trip in Nordland...

    Daft question - External packing of Leki Micro Vario Trekking poles - Z-type

    Hi Lost Pilgrims. Only because on that particular through-hike my pack was 'packed', for one thing, but mainly because I wanted easy access to the Z-poles during mountain trails and scrambles. Nothing to do with when in transit at airports, etc.. I managed to squeeze them in my side-pockets and...

    Daft question - External packing of Leki Micro Vario Trekking poles - Z-type

    Thanks davebugg. That' really useful to know re stated load capacities and correlation to actual comfort. I'll remember that. I'll p.m. you if I have any burning questions. Thanks very much. 😊👍

    Daft question - External packing of Leki Micro Vario Trekking poles - Z-type

    Excellent advice. Thanks. If I go framed, what size and brand of pack do you use as a lightweight framed pack these days? I was looking at the Talon (44?) for France, etc., but for colder climes, such as my planned return trip to Lofoten Islands with proper camera gear, I was thinking the Osprey...
