    Let's talk waist packs!

    Years before Camino was a part of my life, I found a Kipling bag in a secondhand store. It’s approximately similar size to a bum bag, but it has clips, so I could use around waist as well as a purse. Sure, I’d prefer pockets, but this little bag has been with me at work, on walks , at concerts...

    Waist Packs!

    Well I added a “lol” to my post. (& “ designers” and “ off the rack” are two different animals. I have been known to sew pockets on pants but since my sewing skills are shite, I tend to just use my secondhand bag that can be adapted cross body or around waist.

    I’m sure you have more pressing things to attend to than a word search or legalities, so I’m with you, just finding an alternate term. I like your “ Camino neck warmers” but as one who walked Camino in July and August, I’d run screaming from the word “warmers” lol. How about Camino Wraps

    Cheap but fine equipment

    A couple of years back, my sister and I walked Porto to SdC. She picked us up cheap pairs of walking poles ( approx $20 from Walmart) . They were collapsible and we just used duct tape to reinforce the seams, not only that, we just kept wrapping the duct tape around the reinforced areas to use...

    Shower shoes?

    The weight of cheap flip flops are negligible. The discomfort of athletes feet is just not worth it

    Bras for " curvy " girls
