    Shaving,......probably more for the men!

    FWIW Google "wet shave" so you can have that experience at home. I grew my beard out when Covid arrived but before I wet shaved at home with a safety razor and used to use a hot wet wash cloth. I did get all the other gear too. My excuse for not doing this on the Camino is you can't take a...

    How to cross hazardous streams safely

    Definitely! I heard of a fellow fly fisher who was washed away in knee deep water on a western river and drowned. I find that on normal rivers and streams the best place to cross is usually where the water is still smooth, just up stream from the riffles (little rapids). That usually is the...

    Laundry advice

    Blogging help needed!

    The 1st 2 things I do when an app misbehaves is turn the phone off and on, And if that does not work I delete and reinstall the app.

    I am "gifting" the Camino for Christmas. Need advice!

    It's a wonderful thing you are doing. I have done this with each of my daughters so I did it with a smaller group for sure. Actually the second time doing it will be this June, but I've worked out proposed itinerary's and and am about to book flights and first night stays. Its really fun and...

    Hmmm... I might be able to keep up with my daughters with these!

    For those that post/blog/write while walking - doing it on your phone

    I used the talk to text function on my phone. it was real easy but I do have to check if there were any embarrassing mistakes. However if you don't check, and post it does add some humor to your blog.

    lithium ion battery for charging cell phone * airplane?

    I used to use battery saver mode, but now what works for me is to turn off wifi and blue tooth and set the screen rotation to portrait mode only. My phone will usually last the day, unless I take a lot of photos or am just using it a lot. When it does need charging during the day, I like to have...

    lithium ion battery for charging cell phone * airplane?

    Neither do I, but the OP said theirs was forbidden for passenger aircraft.

    lithium ion battery for charging cell phone * airplane?

    Do check the watt hours of your power bank. The FAA permits power banks with 100 Watt hours or less without Airline approval and 100 to 160 watt hours (Wh) with Airline approval. My two Anker power banks are both rated at 37 Wh, and they are both 10000 mAh units. With Anker you actually have...

    buying watercolours in Spain

    Why don't you refill your pans before you go? You could also fill a second set if you think you'll go through that much watercolor.
