    No phone....risky?

    Thanks for the replies everyone, lots and lots of good information, both for and against taking a phone. I never intended this thread to go on so long, I hope I didn't stir anything up as that was never my intention. Since posting the original question, I've decided to take a phone. My iphone 4...

    No phone....risky?

    This has been my primary concern. I am not really too worried about emails, text messages, facebook etc as I am not really into that stuff even when it is accessible. Emergencies are of small concern to me (but not NO concern) but primarily I worry about being cold, tired, blistered and...

    No phone....risky?

    Thanks everyone, may I ask what is meant by "burner phone", are you meaning I should buy a cheap phone once I am in spain? Or buy a cheap unlocked phone here in Canada before I go over? Either way great information and after reading some replies I will most surely be taking a phone of some...

    No phone....risky?

    Good morning everyone! Just this morning as I was getting into my truck to drive to work, I dropped my cell phone into a huge snow drift. It's now totally dead which isn't a huge deal as it was very old and ready to be exchanged basically anytime. However, I was planning on bringing my phone...

    Winter Sleeping bag (too heavy?)

    Hello everyone, I have a question about winter sleeping bags. My camino begins January 15th and I will be walking until sometime around the 20th of February. I purchased my sleeping bag recently which I was happy with.....until I started reading some forum posts that is. My bag is rated...

    Electronics question.....overwhelmed!

    I just thought I would post a quick up date as to my original question. I ended up purchasing a nifty little point and shoot digital camera, a Canon Power Shot ELPH 330 HS. Knowing nothing about cameras, I picked this little device because it seemed straight forward to use and takes good...

    How much water?

    Good morning, I haven't walked yet, but I am planning on taking one or two small (500ml) store bought water bottles on my person. I am concerned about weight as well as convenience. I find that smaller and slimmer water bottles fit into my pack easier. I am all about ease, weight and price...

    Thanks so much to everyone for all the input! I must admit that I seem to change my mind each and every time I see a new reply in this thread, I read a new post and say "yes! this is perfect! this is what I'm doing!" and then I read the next one and change my mind again! Gregdedman your advice...

    Electronics question.....overwhelmed!

    Thanks so much for the help Al, just curious, did you use your phone strictly as a camera? Or did you also use it for calling ahead to alburgues, apps when on wifi etc? Anyways, I am heading into the city today on a camino shopping trip, looking specifically at sleeping bags and smart phones...

    Electronics question.....overwhelmed!

    I am not on the camino only to take pictures. I have many reason for being there and after all is said and done I would love to have lots of pictures to show my family. A Pentax W60 is what you used? I will look into that on amazon and do some research for sure! I am leaning towards a new...

    Electronics question.....overwhelmed!

    Greetings all, I would like to present my dilemma to the group for some input if that is alright, please keep in mind I am very technologically inept and know basically nothing about photography or smart phone technology. My camino is coming up in January of 2015 and as part of my experience...
