    Starting 25 April SJPDP - clothing choice

    Fleece. I also brought a Marmot rain jacket which was surprisingly very warm.

    Feedback on Final Clothing List

    I brought a lightweight Marmot rain jacket that worked for wind cold rain. It was so thin and so warm because of the material that it had zippers under the arms in case you got too hot. It also had a hood which kept out all the rain. It was perfect. I would definitely bring gloves and keep track...

    My Camino shopping

    An idea for shampoo/conditioner is Lush sells a round bar that can be used for hair and body. If you purchase their square tin it makes it easy to get the round soap out and best part...lasts the entire camino. (I even used it to wash my socks in the sink!)

    Permethrin treatment, down bags and putting one’s pack in a garbage bag at night….

    I sprayed my silk liner, backpack, and the socks I wore every night to sleep with permethrin. I sprayed them in my garage and left them out for a few days to dry. The smell did not linger. I see you live in NYC. I bought my permethrin in a spray can at Dick’s Sporting Goods.

    Help! Pack too heavy! — CF Sept & Oct — Senior Woman

    Don’t forget that some of the stuff you’ll be wearing so that will make it a little less heavy. Drop the platypus.

    Corkscrew do I take one with me?

    I carried a small corkscrew with me the entire trip. There were times it made me the most popular person in the albergue. Lol.

    Please review my packing List

    Overall good list. Your hiking shoes look a bit worn...you will need support and you should have a solid hiking shoe that's not worn on the bottom. If you drink wine...I brought a corkscrew and was often sought out by other pilgrims for a quick "borrow". I brought my own pillow case, stored it...

    Looking for a review of these hiking boots.

    I wore these in women's and I didn't get even one blister. They were awesome. https://www.salomon.com/us/product/x-ultra-3-gtx.html?article=402423&CMPID=google%7Cpla%7Cperformance%7Cnam%7Cus%7C%7C%7C196935509225%7Cc%7CL40242300034&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpO_Rvvye3AIV1jaBCh0E7wWOEAYYBSABEgIFdPD_BwE

    footwear question for april 2018

    I used a Salomon Gor-Tex hiking shoe. In U.S. these are anywhere from $90-$160 for a good waterproof shoe. I did not pick a high top since I was afraid in would rub my ankle too much and be uncomfortable after hiking 8 hours a day. My shoes were perfect. Just enough support and feet kept dry and...

    Osprey Sirius 36 or 50l?

    Yellowfriend indicated they both fit well and was asking about the "space" using a 36L.

    Osprey Sirius 36 or 50l?

    I walked from SJPDP to Santiago in May 2016 and I used a 36L and it was perfect for me.

    Packing list... would love feedback and advice :)

    I think you have a little too much clothing...see if you can eliminate something. 1 short sleeved merino shirt is enough. If you are planning to wear the skirt with leggings then leave the dress behind. I went in May and only had a silk liner and it was find. You probably don't need the extra...
