How to pack Tilley hat (ltm6) into backpack?
I’ve taken mine on a bunch of long-distance treks and if I don’t want to wear it I’ve always just folded it up and shoved it in my backpack. It’s still going strong nine years later despite this treatment.- Adhemar78

Trekking poles
I absolutely recommend taking trekking poles. I bought some for the Camino despite not being convinced I would use them, but ended up using them for about 95 per cent of my time on the Camino. I had problems with my knees on the Camino, and I suspect these would have been much worse if I hadn’t...- Adhemar78

Do I need gloves if I am using a Trekking Pole
I only tend to wear gloves when it is cold or wet when I am walking, so most of the time I just have my bare hands on the poles. I have had problems with sweaty hands when it has been warm but it hasn't occurred to me to wear gloves when this happens, as I just expect my hands would get hotter...- Adhemar78

What did you bring on the Camino that you wound up not using?
1. I went to a Camino workshop here in Sydney where I was advised to take a trowel for burying my poop if I needed to go in a field or something. I never needed to do this; I didn’t need the trowel. It makes me laugh when I think about this! 2. All the tops I took were merino wool tops - they...- Adhemar78

The big question...
I wore Icebreaker Anatomica boxers - merino wool. Very comfortable. I didn't have any problems with them.- Adhemar78

Beginning in Sept.
I might run into you - I'm starting from St Jean Pied de Port on September 21 and I am also planning to take five weeks to walk to Compostela. I have bought one of these sleeping bags to take with me: https://www.trekandtravel.com.au/product_detail.asp?id=365&cat=3&subcat=40 I'm not sure if...- Adhemar78

Croc shower sandals and other ways to cut weight
I will be doing the Camino in September. I went on a workshop in Sydney last year and the presenter, who has walked the Camino multiple times, recommended purchasing a pair of Crocs to wear in the evenings due to their light weight - he said these weight about 320 grams per pair. I also read a...- Adhemar78

Walking poles or not
I will be walking the Camino in September and I decided to buy a pair of trekking poles. I have not used them for walking in the past but I was persuaded to buy a pair by someone who has done the Camino previously. He argued that using these transfers 30 per cent of your weight from your feet...- Adhemar78
