Hi Sarah,
My wife (Mary Jane) and I will be starting from SJPdP on Sept 19th. We'll be taking the Valcarlos route to hopefully have an easier start. We're excited - and anxious! This is our first Camino.
I second the use of binder clips. I use one to clip the hood of whatever piece of rain gear I have to the bill of my ball hat keeping everything in place. Also use them to hang drying socks off the pack.
I have Pacer Poles but find I don't care for the feel of the grip in my bare hand and have been using cheap garden gloves when using them. Do many of you use gloves or fingerless gloves with your poles?
Mysticl, is this the link to the replacement rubber feet you're referring to? http://www.pacemakerstix.com/collections/pole-accessories/products/asphalt-paws
