    So here I go - compiling that lightweight kit - I started with the Rucksack

    This is starting to remind me of the '12 Days of Christmas' melody ...

    Anyone sew their own Camino clothing or gear?

    I've made a sleeping-bag liner out of two (what I believe is silk) wrap-around pair of pants, just sewing them together and cutting off the straps/ties. They already had an inside and outside layer to them, so re-sewing the material together in a different shape took some perseverance keeping...

    Gym leggings instead of "hiking pants"

    I've been finding 'workout/travel' leggings with pockets somewhat regularly over the past year or so. Obviously, the pockets would be most useful for flatter objects, but I really the idea. Typically where I've seen (and purchased) them are on the Sierra Trading Post site, out of Wyoming. The...

    Recommend you summer weight long sleeve shirt

    I ran across some long-sleeve, high(ish) collar (to my memory) shirts the other day that seemed to be meant to wear over swim suits as sun protection. I believe I saw them on the LLBean site. I don't remember the name for them, but they were in the swimsuit section. They would probably be...

    Coffee in the morning...

    I was doing a sort of self-imposed study project on the Camino this last summer, and one of my sources (written around the late 70s - early 80s) suggested that if one was used to drinking coffee or tea in the morning before they did anything, then it would probably be worth the effort for them...

    A Sleeping Bag Testimony

    I can't find any actual measurements on it, but it has a compression sack, and, I was able to strap (the sack has straps as well) it into the top of my pack, and it only stuck out a few inches on each side. This would be the part of a pack that is above the main area and under the top (if your...

    A Sleeping Bag Testimony

    86" long x 32" wide.

    A Sleeping Bag Testimony

    I should probably add that it had a ventilation option on the side opposite the zipper, which I had open when I was using it, so it probably gets warmer sooner when that is not being used.

    A Sleeping Bag Testimony

    This is the one I found: http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12586550 It's a Koppen Viggo 40. I was mainly impressed with it because it was hanging up besides some others. Once I looked it up online later, it was challenging to find out where the company stood in...

    A Sleeping Bag Testimony

    I don't have THAT much to say about it yet, but I just wanted to share how in five minutes (actually less) I went from totally planning to deal with acquiring a sleeping after I got to Spain, because I just didn't want to deal with it, and only looking for the right liner, to falling in love...

    Keen sandels

    I have my second pair now and I think I've discovered the answer to at least part of the mystery for me. This may be true for all the Keen sandal models, I don't know, but the way the lace tightens everything (including around the ankle) at once seemed to push my foot backwards in the smaller...

    Keen sandels

    I decided to exchange them for a pair a full size larger. Hopefully these ones will fit more normally. They are the Keen Whispers.

    Keen sandels

    To clarify, I have them on ... it just seems like it would be a challenge wearing socks with them, etc. unless they give a little more, which I'm assuming they'll do in the future.

    Keen sandels

    Do they stretch when they are being broken in? My guess is yes ... but I also really hope the real answer is yes ... since the one's I've just bought are a bit snug in terms of getting my foot (and I have small feet) all the way into them. I know the base won't change, I'm just thinking of the...
