I got the 38 and walked 10 days with it on the Frances this summer. It was perfect. Loved it all.
and having the red color was good - adds visibility when you're walking along aa road.
Great! I ended up choosing the Gregory Jade in a slightly larger size because it hit my hips at a better place, and I thought the extra room would be useful. I've been training with it and its going really well. I never thought I could carry a pack, but a good pack is much easier to carry...
Ive never wet myself with my tinkle bell, not even close, and you use it to wipe too, so NO paper.
Yes and while practice is a good idea it isnt always required. My tinkerbell has been very helpful.
I don't need to pull much down while using mine. My bum is not exposed. I can turn my back and not worry about being seen with my pants down. That's great.
Annie I love your blog so I know you hate toilet tissue. You don't need paper with one of these! I've found my tinkerbell easy to use with a little practice.
On the other hand, motherhood, if you choose it, is not only the greatest challenge and pain but also, often, such a joy! But I'm in menopause, so the other issues don't seem quite so bad now.
Fellow women who love She-Wees, Tinkle bells or other devices which allow you to pee standing without revealing your bottom, did you use your device much on your camino? For those who don't know, these devices are particularly good for those whose knees are sometimes wonky. But I'm trying to...
I got the 38! It fit better, more weight on my hips, plus it is not much more wight for a lot more space. Im on the subway home from REI, where i spent 3 hours. They were great and fitted the pack to me, put in 16 pounds in these pillows they have, and i walked around for a while. Thank you to...
Yes, it seems though that 28 is the minimum and many people go a little bigger. It seems that 38L is also a reasonable size for the Camino. It's an odd market for packs, because real daypacks are usually smaller, unless it's wintery mountain weather, and backpackers packs need to be bigger...
I am beginning my first Camino Aug 4 and am shopping for packs. Has anyone tried the women's Jade 28 liter Gregory pack?
Do you think 28 liters is a good size?
It's supposed to be very comfortable and seems to have some great features, plus I can get it at REI.
THANKS!
