    "Buff" question for native English speakers

    I like that a lot! The name "Buff" always seemed strange to me for item it describes!

    Macabi skirt sale on July 24th

    Thanks for the post Becky! I was able to get a skirt each for my sister and myself. The discounts helped offset the postage costs to Australia! :)

    How Often Should You Clean Water Bottles?

    I've been mulling the issue of reusable bottles vs single use store bought bottles for the Camino for some time. I do use reusable bottles at home and I do have a great concern for the environment, but knowing only too well that reusable bottles and their contents can so easily become...

    Places to Buy Hiking Accessories Before Taking the first step?

    Perhaps approach the Camino groups? Many prospective pilgrims attend Camino meetings to find out what its all about. I'm sure a 'basic kit' (whatever that may include) would excite and be very attractive to first timers.

    What is the best SIM to use

    Thanks @trecile and @VNwalking :)

    What is the best SIM to use

    Sorry, I'm clueless about all this.....to make a call to another Viber user, do you need wifi? Will it work if you have the data turned off on your phone?

    Non walking partner wants to buy a motorbike - any suggestions?

    A brilliant compromise Kanga! I have actually posed a similar proposition to my husband, but he didn't go for it! :confused:

    Quilts

    I bought 2 and an extra 2 for my sister. I had planned to do the same as you have Kanga, to cut some off making it narrower and to use studs to attach it to the top of my liner; doesn't it work too well?

    Quilts

    Costco sell a quilt, the Black Diamond™ double packable down throw. I bought mine at the Marsden Park store last year some time. Trouble is they don't have them all of the time, just need to keep checking and ask. There weren't any at our closest store at Auburn, so asked in store and the...

    Equipment for Chubby Girls (perhaps an ongoing guide)

    Brilliant post! Thank you, loved it! :D

    Equipment for Chubby Girls (perhaps an ongoing guide)

    "….my theory, embrace the 'gunt' and unclip for photos!" @DirtAmy :D Love it! Must remember that one!

    My sleep sack "innovation"

    Great thinking! :)

    My sleep sack "innovation"

    Love this idea Trecile! Thanks for sharing all the details. Just looking at Dharma Trading and wondering if by using the 10mm, 12mm or 16mm habatoi (heavier habatoi)) would it make a 'warmer' sleep sack and thus eliminating the need for a sleeping bag? Alternatively, how do you think using a...

    Best Poncho in the Universe

    Hi Michael, I'm not too far from an Ikea in Sydney, I'd be happy to buy and post to you. PM me if interested.

    Need a new waist pack

    Thanks Lucy and Congratulations to you and Matt for completing your Camino! From the specs. on the site, the maximum length of the strap is too short for me, but as mentioned above, I could probably add an extender piece.

    Need a new waist pack

    Thank you! I hadn't thought of that, yes I could extend it!

    Need a new waist pack

    Hi Lucy, what I'd like to know about the Maka 2 is how the waist strap is attached to the bag. I've looked at all the photos, but can only see the left (if you are wearing it) side is attached by what I presume is a metal ring? But cant see how the other side is attached. I'm hoping it's...

    Sleeping bag or down comforter ?

    I tried to buy one of the Costco throws a couple of years ago, but I don't think they have ever stocked them here in Australia and as far as I'm aware, we can't buy online either. :confused: They sound to be great value!

    Sleeping bag or down comforter ?

    I have a silk liner and a SeaToSummit Traveller, they've worked well for me but some nights are too warm for the Traveller and I also find it a little 'snug'. Next time I plan to use the Traveller open as a quilt. To stop it slipping off I'm going to apply some snap fasteners to liner and quilt.

    4 gear questions: Keen sandals, dry sack, Euroschirm umbrella, Macabi skirt

    Thanks Trecile, great info on using the Dry Sack for washing, first I'd heard of it. Going to give it a try on a trip to Europe later this year.
