  3. BlackDog

    New water filter - 2 oz.

    Millbank filter, that takes me back to my Army days! I was also posted once to Millbank where the bag was designed. A little slow but effective and comes in two sizes for group and individual use.

    More on inner soles ; a comparative study of Six brands

    I would also recommend this brand for the personalisation aspect. I have walked with them over several caminos and on day walks.

    What technology are YOU using on the Camino?

    I'm a GPS person, I like to know where I am and where to go. I produce my own gpx files and use them in various ways. OSMAnd is a useful app for using GPX files and Open Street Maps on an Android device, there are equivalents for Apple devices.

    Toe Socks

    If it is painless and non-irritating, it may be capillaritis. Characterized by leakage of red blood cells from small, superficial blood vessels that result in pinpoint-like hemorrhages (petechiae). I get it when I have walked in the heat and have stressed the leg by walking hard. I get it...

    Legs when wearing a poncho?

    I went for option 4. No problem in May/June/July/Sept.

    sandals vs boots

    I am currently on the way back to Santiago after walking from Ferrol to Santiago then to Muxía and on to Fisterra. I used my shoes for the first 3 days only and have walked in my Teva hiking sandals for the rest of the way. Get proper hiking sandals with a shaped footbed and strap supports...

    What DO men put in their backpacks?

    And even my size 12 sandals weigh significantly more than a ladies delicate shoes! Much of the difference is in the sizing and resultant fabric weights.

    Compeed vs. Tape

    Don't like Compeed, if it comes out of the side and gets on your socks it is very very difficult to remove from them. If you have a problem due to moisture or inexperience in using it, then Compeed will take your skin off. I would avoid Compeed!!!

    do you wear boots on the plane? and is there a new app?

    You can deal with the loss of most things but not your boots! Wear them on the plane unless everything is cabin baggage. You just never know when that lightening is going to strike and leave your bag elsewhere.:mad:

    Getting on the www

    Your Galaxy Note already has wifi built in so you should be able to use it without any other equipment. Looking under Settings and the first item is to turn wireless on.

    Example packing list

    It's a tad late but may come in useful for someone. Acetaminophen is a USA name only for Paracetamol in Europe.

    Does anyone NOT like Pacerpoles?

    I didn't see anyone using their smartphones while actually walking. But there are those who, like me, use them to contain guides, reference material, ebooks, music etc and consult them in the evening and possibly at rest stops. I'm not interested in how others conduct their camino so long it's...

    Iphone apps

    And will you make an Android app given that the numbers are now greater than ios users?

    Atmospheric Altus Poncho

    The light makes no mention of the space for a backpack. Is it different in that respect?
  17. BlackDog

    Atmospheric Altus Poncho

    Mine is the same as yours with the word 'impermeable' on the bag. Bought in a sale this year but manufactured in 2009.

    Raincoat-Poncho

    Also a thank you from me - cheaper than waiting until SJPdP and I can use it in the meantime :D

    KEEPING AN IPAD DRY

    The specification says 13g :? boxed it weighs 136g I suspect that in reality it is somewhere between the two but nowhere near 1 pound.
