    To carry or not to carry an hair dryer?

    Yeah, the experiment was worth it. It was a minor concern, but I'll be completely fine without one. At this point, I'd call the case closed. :)

    To carry or not to carry an hair dryer?

    Thanks, I just did an experiment today. I took a shower and let it dry naturally. Well, in a couple of hours I was all set. So, I don't think that I will bring one. But not because of it may increment the weight, but due to my backpack being already full. I considered carrying my computer...

    Pack Weight and Other Impediments

    And didn't you girls respond accordingly? Like for example: 'Mind your damn business?' and so on...

    To carry or not to carry an hair dryer?

    5-6 months per each Camino is pretty cool.

    To carry or not to carry an hair dryer?

    😂 exactly.... Remember that Doors's song? People are strange...

    To carry or not to carry an hair dryer?

    Thanks. Ok, I really don't care about drying my hair. I like to dry it out naturally. The only thing I really can't stand is when I go to bed and my hair is still slightly damp. Humid, behind or close to the scalp. So, it's not I'm like spoiled or anything. On the contrary. I love...

    Thanks for the feedback, and for the good looking :)

    To carry or not to carry an hair dryer?

    Yeah, but now my hair is longer, cause I was trying to let it grow. :) Anyway, we'll see...

    To carry or not to carry an hair dryer?

    Yeah but I'm going in May :) What I said about not being on a beach in July, was meant as a metaphor to say that with Spring weather in Northern Spain, may not be as easy to let one's hair dry as it would be in the middle of the summer on an afternoon spent at the beach. Thanks for replying.

    To carry or not to carry an hair dryer?

    😂 No way.
  11. Gabe_Way

    To carry or not to carry an hair dryer?

    Well, I'm letting my hair grow, and since I won't be at a beach in the middle of July at 3pm, it's not going to be easy to let it dry before goig to sleep, and it's not healthy wise to hangout in the evenings with damp hair, let alone go to bed with it. Hence my question. I assume you folks...

    To carry or not to carry an hair dryer?

    Hello everyone, EDIT: Ok, I really don't care about drying my hair. I like to dry it out naturally. The only thing I really can't stand is when I go to bed and my hair is still slightly damp. Humid, behind or close to the scalp. So, it's not I'm like spoiled or anything. On the contrary. I...

    Help! The walking pole makes me feel like the walking dead!

    Exactly this. 👍

    Are the shoes safe outside?

    And you leave the cotton bag on the rack? Or you put it into your backpack? I'll slide mine into my sack. :) Yeah, those methods can work, but sleepy eyes might not spot those markers anyway.
  15. Gabe_Way

    Are the shoes safe outside?

    I know :) But I also know that I probably wouldn't sleep very well. 🤯 The next day I'll just throw the plastic bag in the trash. And since I'm alternating Albergues with convenient Hotels, I could take care of my dirty shoes when I'm there. P.S. I have a pair of Salomon for Trail, so they...
  16. Gabe_Way

    Are the shoes safe outside?

    My plan to avoid any mistakes, accidents, or temptations, is to put my shoes inside a sealable plastic bag and slip it into my rucksack. Nobody would care at that point, and neither my clothes would, since the bag will be perfectly sealed. I'm definitely not going to take the risk of getting...

    Help! The walking pole makes me feel like the walking dead!

    I understand and I officially apologize with all my heart! :( I really didn't mean to use 'older' in a negative way. I would never do that! I'm also grateful and respectful, and I can learn a lot actually from people more experienced than me, in many different fields. Again, I feel really bad if...

    Help! The walking pole makes me feel like the walking dead!

    I'm sorry that wasn't meant in a bad way :( I was just saying that basically depends on several, different variables, and what works for some, may not work for others.

    Help! The walking pole makes me feel like the walking dead!

    Well, it's only a matter of opinions. Everybody has one. There's no right or wrong. And you didn't need to express your opinion on my opinion :) But the concept I wanted to express was basically almost the same as Davebugg's, 'Do what works for you.' Take care, and buen camino!
