    Walking the Camino Primitivo: Tips for a Safe Solo Journey in 2022

    Thanks Jerry, I did make a reservation in Bodenaya albergue following a suggestion in the forum. But it will all depend if I can keep the scheduled stages. Only once I start walking I will know. I already have boots that are one size bigger than my usual and will trim the toenails :)

    Walking the Camino Primitivo: Tips for a Safe Solo Journey in 2022

    I hope you are having a good Camino. How are the nights? it is necessary to take a sleeping bag? To cut down the weight I was thinking about taking a liner and a light scarf (that could double as a blanket).

    Walking the Camino Primitivo: Tips for a Safe Solo Journey in 2022

    As I see your suggestions I think "I have to take the sleeping bag because I get cold at night", "I have to take the power bank because I am walking alone and can't take the risk of being with no phone", "I have to...."

    Walking the Camino Primitivo: Tips for a Safe Solo Journey in 2022

    It will be great to hear from you in the Camino. As my departure date approaches (june 12) so my insecurities grow. And I am seriously impressed with your 12 pounds (so far I could only manage 16,5 pounds, so I guess I will feed the donation boxes throughout Camino Primitivo). Bueno Camino

    helpful article on hand laundering

    Thanks @trecile , really great video that shows the dry bag method you mentioned. I am already a fan! In terms of hike dresses I am not so lucky. I loved the dresses, the vibe and the pictures of the LadyHyke, but they do not ship to Portugal :( neither does REI. But I now know "they" exist, so...

    helpful article on hand laundering

    This is a very practical approach, which I find very useful because I will be doing my first Camino in june and am a little nervous about this (for context, I am 50 year old, I have never gone camping, I have never slept in a shared room, and the idea of hanging my intimate cloths for everyone...

    I am 50 years old and I am planning to do the Camino Primitivo this June. I am reading a lot on line, and started to prepare physically and mentally, but have a lot of questions.
