    Packing Pacer Poles Air Travel

    I went to my local Fed Ex/Kinko's looking for a tube. They recommended their triangle box with fits two pair of regular straight collapsible poles. The edges are 6.5 inches wide and it is 38 inches long. It was free. They said they didn't have a way to charge for it. The corregations run...

    Costco duvets are back, and improved

    I bought one at Bed Bath and Beyond. Have you added anything at the bottom to make an envelope for your feet? A strip of Velcro, a zipper? Thanks

    Anyone tried toe socks?

    I've been using Injinji toe socks for my training hikes and love the short ones alone, not as liners. I don't like the longer socks because the bands around the tops are too snug for me and I have legs on the thin side.

    Long sleeved pack/body poncho

    Thank you, Davey. I can get a Ferrino in the States from the Trek Inn website so I think I'll give it a try. Since the back can be fastened to be worn without a backpack, it sounds like it would be a great rain jacket to take on vacation. The Ferrino only comes in two sizes: S/M and L/XL...

    Long sleeved pack/body poncho

    Question about the Ferrino. The reviews say it has a silver reflective lining. Does that lend itself to overheating or condensation?

    Super cushioned footwear for Camino Portugues

    I have a new pair of Sketchers Go Ultra Trail 3's. They are very comfortable and cushiony. I've only worn them 3 times - each walk was 4-5 miles on a flat, packed gravel surface with no backpack. Hardly a good test. They have good reviews online. They have some sort of "draining-design...

    Apple Watch on the Camino

    My son-in-law gave me his old FitBit; but, I have found the mileage function to be highly unreliable when using hiking sticks. It must depend on swinging arms to track distance reliably.

    Sock problem

    Donna: Like others, I have a number of socks. I picked up a pair of Wright Socks at REI. They are fairly short with two thin layers. I wore them last week for an 8 mile walk at about 85 degrees Fahrenheit (30 Celcius) and my feet liked them. The week before I wore Injinji (light weight) for...

    Macabi skirt - I'm taking the plunge

    Laura: I removed the elastic and drawstring and replaced them with a "belt" made of about 20 inches of softer elastic with pretty ribbon sewn on both ends. I put D rings on one end of the belt. The belt goes through the new waistband and out the two button holes I added. The elastic part of...

    Macabi skirt - I'm taking the plunge

    I ordered a Macabi skirt. The skirt itself had plenty of fabric but I didn't like waistband - the way it was put together made it too (firm?) and too tight. I spent a week going back and forth between sending it back for the next size larger or taking the waistband apart and remaking it. I'm...

    Sports bra recommendations?

    Dillard's has a "store brand" bra called Modern Movement. It's a regular everyday underwire t-shirt bra that wicks moisture and dries quickly. I decided to try it as opposed to a standard sports bra because I don't want "the girls" smooshed and it's only $38. I've worn it for several walks...

    over 100 miles so far in sandals on the Camino Francis

    Nice picture of the Havasu Falls (near Grand Canyon National Park) in your blog. That is the most beautiful, peaceful place ever and it was my first backpacking trip. http://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/havasupai.htm
