    Small hip/shoulder pack

    I use that pack to carry my sketchbook. I use an A5 size hardcover sketch book that's 5.8" by 8.3" It will fit pens, pencils and a lot of other stuff. I would say its perfect as a bum bag and a bit less so as a sling, since it tends to tilt a little. However its very comfortable no matter...

    What camera do you use?

    I mostly use my phone camera, a Galaxy Note 20, image quality wise it still goes toe to toe with my wife's latest iPhone. I've taken a large sensor point and shoot (Fuji X100v) that fits in my waist bag, but it hardly gets used except in the evenings. If you're doing video, then a GoPro or and...

    I've walked the Camino in barefoot shoes

    It's got to be something about Galicia. When I walked the Camino Ingles I encountered a barefoot walker.

    what Camera option are people using

    I have a Note 20 and I do what @Jodean suggested: set my focus to the sky. That also sets the light metering to the sky. If that doesn't do it, then I tilt the camera to get in more sky, so the metering balance is more sky friendly. I use the Snapseed app to edit the photo. Most good editing...

    what Camera option are people using

    I take a my phone and a high end compact on my travels lately. 99% of the photos I share and use for my post Camino/Travel memory books are from the phone. My camera, either a Fuji X100v or a GRiii is in my waist pack or pocket ready to use, but it usually only comes out a night, or very...

    Yes it is.

    Relive App

    I have used it and it's easy enough to set up. It can use the GPS data from your phone or select GPS watches. I have a Coros watch and was able to get it to send data to the Relive App automatically on the phone and then I could add photos and save it. That way Reilve app wasn't constantly...

    Sony ZV-1 camera and charging

    Its next to impossible to find a an electronic rechargeable camera, phone, tablet, or computer that is not dual voltage now. My Ricoh's, Fujifilm cameras, and Panasonic all had no problem with European plugs. if you're concerned buy a battery charger, it will charge the battery faster too, and...

    Multipurpose shoes for shower and town?

    I just got a pair of Hoka Ora 3 slides and love them for around the house. I haven't really walked around town yet other than a couple of short dog walks, but they were fine for that. I'm not a flip flop person. I've have a pair of Classic Crocs and I like them a lot, they are probably my...

    Can I get poles in Santiago?

    I got mine here: Deportes Romar Rúa da Fonte de Santo Antonio, 30, 15702 Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, Spain. The owners were very helpful, though they do not speak English.

    Camino Portugués in June in running shoes?

    Go for it. My daughter walked with me from SJPDP to Pamplona in running shoes and was just fine. You've already done some long distance and multiple day hiking in them, so it seems they work for you. Sandals as a back up is always a good idea, just in case you need them.

    Share your backpack choice with your body info!

    I'm 5x10 and 250 lbs. I'm using a Gregory Zulu 30, and I use an Osprey Stratos 24 for day hikes at home. What I like about both is the U zipper access, so most of the pack opens to see what's inside and pack and both have lots of pockets. The Zulu has slightly larger hip belt packets but this...

    Walking Sticks! (yes, i know)

    That I couldn't tell you. They cruised by so fast on the flat sections in the mornings, that I would only catchup to them at lunch or the end of the day!
