    Foldable hiking poles in carry-on baggage

    I was allowed to carry them on in the U.S. When I arrived in Spain for my connecting flight, I had to go back through security. They are not allowed as carry ons. My option was to go back in the check them as baggage or give them up. I didn't have enough time, so I left them there.

    Sleeping bag vs liner

    Not worth the extra weight. Definitely a liner only.

    Equipment for Chubby Girls (perhaps an ongoing guide)

    Hi Iriebablel. I don't recall a specific type but I bought them at REI in the states. I did the Camino Frances in three segments over 18 months and had blisters and lost a big toe nail on all three. LOL I think that I was pushing myself to hard.

    Equipment for Chubby Girls (perhaps an ongoing guide)

    I used Wright socks too, but contrary to their claim they did not prevent me from getting blisters at all.

    Sleeping bag - yes or no?

    You do not need to pack a bulky sleeping bag. A simple silk liner will suffice

    Is a cotton/silk liner enough for sleeping?

    I'm a warm sleeper too. I've walked sections of the Camino in later September/early October the last two years and have been perfectly fine with just a silk liner. Very lightweight too.

    Backpack Pillow

    Save the space and leave the extra weight at home. You won't need the pillow. The only problem I had was when pillows were too soft, so I would have to extra clothing to firm it up

    Walking poles and Marmite

    thank you. I definitely would recommend checking your bag if you want to take poles. My next call is to REI as to why $150 poles were able to be replaced with 18 Euro poles that were just as good. LOL. Lesson learned

    Walking poles and Marmite

    Yes they we're not allowed on the connecting flight

    Walking poles and Marmite

    TSA in Dallas didn't stop me from carrying in my backpack. I had a connection in Madrid. They said I could not carry poles in my backpack. They said I could check them but I didn't have time for that so they kept the poles

    Walking poles and Marmite

    Just make sure you check them in your bag. My poles were confiscated in Madrid when I landed. Had to buy replacement poles along the way.
