    Macabi skirt sizing/slim/usage

    I have both a knee-length and an original. I think they run large (though I went by, and would go again, by their size chart). I think the original hangs better and you can definitely get more in the pockets (and it looks better that way). I also have a ripskirt that I love. It runs a little...

    My new favorite hiking pants!!!

    A similar brand is Ziphers. Extended sizing, fast service. I got a pair of bike shorts from them last summer that were all that. They have a hiking pant that I would totally get if I liked wearing pants when I walk. Really great idea!

    Shampoo/conditioner

    Just wanted to chime in on this. I was surprised to see bar conditioner (many kinds!) at my food co-op. If you have one nearby it might be worth a visit. I have tried a couple shampoo bars and am not really a fan. Let me just preface by saying I am a greaseball and I've been struggling to...

    Camino movies!

    If you hold a public library card in the US and Canada, you may have access to Kanopy and Hoopla. Kanopy is also available in the UK, Australia, NZ, Hong Kong and Singapore, I believe. There are a couple (free) videos, no ads, available to stream - though your library may have different titles...

    LIVE from the Camino I’m on my way

    Eve, I've been following your posts. Thank you. I really appreciate your voice and the unvarnished good, bad, and the ugly. I also might have decked the persons who made aspersions about you and your family. Man, that gets my goat. Buen camino!

    New Equipment Providers?

    Oh! Campmor! I bought a tent from them in 1986. Good times! I remember those catalogs quite fondly.

    How to volunteer as a 'hospitalera' in 2022

    Another option, which might be more cost-effective and may be closer to you, is being trained by the Canadian Company of Pilgrims (located in Victoria). The website gives no info on when the next training is, but you can them for more information.

    New Equipment Providers?

    Following. I don't know of much nationally other than brands you've mentioned, Kathy. If you live in a place with an outdoor store, may I suggest checking out their consignment/used gear sections? I've gotten some great gear for pennies. I'm an REI member and they'll get some of my cash for...

    Macabi skirt shipping to EU

    I have no answers to your questions. But they "introduced significantly discounted international shipping over what we had before" a week ago, according to the owner. Turnaround in the US is quick. Three days after ordering I had my skirts. I know that gives no context of how long it would...

    There's no passport control when you cross the French-Spanish border on foot. ETA: at least between SJPdP & Roncesvalles.
