    My conundrum ....

    Hi, We would be shipping ahead from California and sending ahead to a hotel in Paris. I guess I don't understand about the customs wanting their money. I did that two years ago with personal it's and the hotel was kind enough to hold it for us until we picked it up. I haven't had experience...

    My conundrum ....

    Hi Shells, We will be shipping a box ahead with our trecking polls and whatever else we need but won't be able to carry on the plane. We travel light and try to mostly just pack carryon bags. In this case it will be our rucksacks. I am trying to avoid the one off chance it may get lost. It's a...

    Help documenting journey

    Hi Albertino, I really appreciate you mentioning the GoPro. I had wondered how that would work. We recently bought a GoPro but haven't used it yet. You are right about it being so small and lightweight. I guess I'd better play around with it to learn how to operate it. Also how many memory cards...

    Sock problem

    Hi Donna, There is a difference between Smart Wool and Merino Wool. Smartwool socks are more for comfort and warmth, and Merino socks are better at moisture wicking, to keep your feet dry. *proof positive why it's so important to test out and break in all your equipment prior to the "big"...

    Which Osprey backpack?

    We have the Exos 38 and love it. It has lots of stretchable netted pockets, vented waiste and shoulder straps, top detachable pouch and the best part is it only weighs 2lbs. It's incredibly comfortable and with 15-20 lbs it sits on the hips well and extremely comfortable. It's really so...
