    Any ideas how to personalise a rucksack?

    Some type of a fabric glue I bought in a fabric store. Thanks.

    Any ideas how to personalise a rucksack?

    I glued on three patches onto my Osprey pack. They all came off after a few days.

    We have all been there ...

    I've never over-packed THAT much, mainly because I found this forum before my first camino.

    Any ideas how to personalise a rucksack?

    This all reminds me of a funny story . . . . I call it "blue blazer day". I worked in an office and there were two other men in the same office with me. At the end of one work day, John was the first to leave to go home. A little while later Mike, who was in a car-pool left to go home also...

    The need for a headlight

    I remember leaving Villamayor de Montjardin one morning, and I would have been in a world of hurt had I not had my headlamp.

    Decorating my Pack!

    Was it the waterproofness of the Osprey backpack, or were the patches you applied with glue all "iron-on" patches? I glued three patches onto my Osprey Kestrel and the two that were "iron-on" came off, but the one that wasn't "iron-on" is still holding fast.

    Shipping stuff back to the US

    Thank you Ivar. You are truly a God-Send for us pilgrims. I hope that you feel our appreciation for your efforts.

    Shipping stuff back to the US

    And one other question, totally unrelated to anything else in this thread. I have noticed in recent pictures that the towers at the front of Santiago Cathedral are cover for cleaning or refurbishment or something. When is that work scheduled to be done and the towers uncovered? I'll also be...

    Shipping stuff back to the US

    Thanks everyone. That is all VERY helpful. One other question for Ivar. When I mail these things to you for you to hold until I arrive in Santiago, where do I get a box to put them in? Will the Correo have them, or should I get one in a store somewhere first? Thanks.

    Shipping stuff back to the US

    In June my nephew and I will be walking from Leon to Santiago. After that, we will then be touring around Europe for another couple of weeks. We will be bringing some items appropriate for the Camino and some other items more appropriate for backpacking around Europe. We will mail the items...

    Decorating my Pack!

    Thanks. I wound up gluing mine on and two of the three came off. I may try get mind done by a seamstress before my next camino.

    Exciting new development

    How fortuitous, I'm packing my backpack because I'm leaving tomorrow for the Camino. I have a small umbrella that I'll pack. We'll see if I use it, or "lose it".

    Decorating my Pack!

    I have an Osprey Kestrel backpack also (green). Did you sew or glue that patch onto that portion of your pack??? I didn't think you could attach it to a "stretchy" part!!! Let me know please. You may have solved one of my problems with getting all of my patches on that I want to attach.

    Decorating my Pack!

    Yes, thanks Annie, I just picked myself up a tube of fabric glue.

    Which Osprey backpack?

    I purchased a Kestrel 48 (s/m). Looking forward to doing a little training with it over the next couple of months. When I walked the Camino Portuguese in 2012, I had a High Sierra bag I got on sale. I developed a dislike for it before reaching Santiago. Does anyone have any experience...

    How to pack a Bag? (Methods)

    I use packing cubes. I use them for non-backpacking travel, so when I walked the Camino Portuguese last September, I used them, and found them invaluable. http://www.ebags.com/category/travel-ac ... in=flyaway I used a medium sized one for shirts, another for pants, and a smaller one for...

    Hiking Shoes, or Hiking Boots?

    Just completed my first camino and my first backpacking/trekking trip ever. Followed Falcon's advice and had NO blistering problems or any foot problems at all. Thanks Falcon.

    Smart Packing and Unexpected Backpack Items

    Just completed my first Camino (Camino Portuguese), which is also my first backpacking trip. My "must have" item(s) were the packing cubes I bought from ebags. http://www.ebags.com/product/ebags/pack ... d=10150076 I use these when I travel normally (not backpacking) and they proved just as...
