    How steep is steep?

    Hi Irenie, You sound a LOT like me — 70 years old, active, and I play in the Sierra Foothills, too! We should connect — but I don't know how to do that privately here! I just did the hike over the Pyrenees in May. Did the same as you're planning to do — started in SJ (went a day early so had...

    How many brought a sheet or cover treated with permethrin?

    Where can I find soft Tyvek in a small quantity, just enough to use as a mattress cover?

    Things I worried about that did NOT merit worry...

    Yes! I hope we do meet! I'll be the blondish older gal with the blue ULA backpack and the wide-brimmed hat! I'm stopping at Orisson on the 2nd then continuing into Roncevales (hopefully) the next day. But I'm also building in one day a week as a "zero day" for resting up or exploring a...

    Things I worried about that did NOT merit worry...

    I wish I could feel that confident. I leave on my first Camino, solo, in 7 weeks and must admit I'm starting to feel a bit nervous -- how DO I keep my pack weight down (it's going to be around 20 pounds with me taking only bare minimums), will I get lost?, will I be in any danger? and so on.

    It's good to hear this works for you. I've been debating whether to just take a shopping bag, but I like the idea of having a small pack.

    My single most important mistake, repeated on all my 5 Caminos

    Water on the walk

    I just bought a smartube for my Camino next spring, but the top doesn't screw on properly and keeps poping off the bottle. Any suggestions by any of you who have used this? And just when I had decided that this would be my hydration choice for the journey!
