    A packlist for your consideration

    Folks talked about most things to adjust, but I would look at your books and tech gadgets. I have an android but you could look to finding your books as an iPod app and put them there. If apple has a Nook reader for your iPod then you could drop the heavier tablet and deal with the iPod alone...

    Underwear, briefs, boxers.... ?

    The topic was asked and discussed under Camino Frances beginning in January 2012 with the last post in September. http://www.caminodesantiago.me/board/viewtopic.php?t=12556 However, I am one who doesn't mind talking about things over again. Since September we have new members, some of whom have...

    Christmas gift for a future pilgrim

    Check your bank or other banks in town for the Euro's. Small branches may not be able to order them but larger ones should. If they can't get them they should know who can even if its the competition. I was thinking a floppy hat or Ferrino Poncho wiuld be good gifts as well. If he likes wine...

    Backpacks

    You wouldn't know it to look at me now but at one time I was 5lbs to light for my height, to join the US Airforce. I weighed barely 100lbs at 5'4" and I am a guy!!! In order to get in the doc had me have the protein powder with Milk, 1 raw egg with shell, 1 banana, and Orange juice made into a...

    Strange issues with my Merrells, anyone else encounter this?

    Lacing hiking boots is an art and not like lacing your street shoes. Hitthetrail.com has an article about tying them properly. The pictures are with a mid length boot as the example. Tony Added to this forum using Tapatalk 2

    Example packing list

    You can sleep in what you will be wearing the next day. Saves packing sleepwear and its added weight. If you wear a hat all day against the sun and rain, is a shower cap necessary? Wouldn't you want to wash the day's progress out of your hair? Added to this forum using Tapatalk 2

    is a little shovel overkill?

    I have not walked the Camino yet. Like Jeffnd said, not everyones body is not the same. I have a chronic disorder and have to prepare for the inevitable. It will happen with little notice. Hard packed ground or not I plan on bringing a shovel and other things to take care of those sudden...

    Zori (or flip-flops)

    Johnnie... I'm only 54! We did live in Okinawa when I was real young. Thats probably where we picked up using the word. Sent using Tapatalk 2

    Zori (or flip-flops)

    I didn't think ANYBODY called them Zori's any more. Family and friends think i'm from Mars when I use that word for flip-flops. It made me smile... Thanks. Sent using Tapatalk 2

    Maps, accommodation, offline access on iPad etc

    I believe there are GPS map links around the board. Wikiloc has an app on the Android market that can overlay those maps onto your phone or let you upload your own with pictures to the Wikiloc site. Just downloaded it (free) and havent checked it all out yet. Will see about giving a review...

    Weird question

    I've had the same question. Reading the posts it seems there are 3 major camps. Sleep in your underwear camp, bring light weight sleep pants and/or night shirt camp and the one i'm leaning toward... Sleep in the clothes you will wear the next day camp. Guess it depends on your modesty/comfort...

    Language Translation Apps and Technology

    I use Google Translate. My daughter in-law is from Mexico. She, her father and brothers speak English fairly well when they visit her. I use it for talking with her mother. You can either type or speak. Translations appear and can be red or a speaker button can be pressed and it speaks the...

    do I need a phone?

    I am currently planning to make my first Camino in 2014. I had plans of unfolding it in the pack netting each morning. Except under a totally tree lined canopy or storm clouds all day, it would get enough sun for the time I will be walking. If I needed more than that I would have to resort to...

    do I need a phone?

    Evanlow, I found it on Amazon by looking for "solar phone charger". The one I will mentioned is the Suntactics sCharger-5. It is running at around $140. Tony Sent using Tapatalk.

    do I need a phone?

    My thoughts for walking as light as possible is to carry things that do double duty. Long pants with zipper off legs to convert to shorts are a good example. My Android and other Smart Phones can be thought of the same way. It is my phone, camera, journal, guide book with maps, take along...
