    Backpack

    Had a great experience with an Osprey Atmos 50AG on the CF with Finisterre and Muxia from late April to early June of this year. It had enough space to accommodate additional food and water that I carried on a few long stretches with few or no trailside cafes or potable water. Plan to use it...

    Socks?

    Just my experience -- 1000 mile fusion models with merino wool exterior and TacTel (nylon) liner have worked well for my girlfriend and me. She suggested I try them about 2.5 years ago and since then our combined miles is well over 10,000 with not one blister. She and I have been training and...

    Leaving boots at home...

    Alternative to the ALTUS -

    CORRECTION: After looking at the current website I noticed that there is not much of a choice of colors. This is not what I remember from when I purchased mine about a year ago. Now it appears that particular colors go with different fabrics. I have had good experiences with my Packa and...

    Alternative to the ALTUS -

    Also, I use the Packa by Cedar Tree Industry in the USA. URL is http://www.thepacka.com . Telephone 706-276-2351. There is a good choice of materials, sizes and colors. Good quality construction and looks less bulky than the Bluefield. Buen Camino.
