    Another question from Marska ... sorry all!

    Just add socks. It is not that cold in October. Check out those neoprene water shoes if you worry about cold feet.

    Another question from Marska ... sorry all!

    I don't like hats because they are too hot and do not provide enough coverage. You will be a lot cooler under the umbrella. I have waked 3 caminos and have not had a rainy where it was too windy to use the umbrella. You can take pictures and not have to worry about the rain or harsh sun under...

    Saying Goodbye to Camino Boots or Shoes

    They can have a second life as planters in your garden. I will turn my boots from my first CF in 2015 into planters this spring. I saw some very pretty boot planters.

    Ass Pads - A Serious Topic!

    I use the Amazon Prime envelop. You can keep your lunch cool and use it to sit on. Maybe it is not as durable, but with care, it can last your whole Camino.

    What to pack for my First Camino?

    Your phone is your flashlight. Add 4 big safety pins to use as cloth pins. You are a bit heavy on the first-aid stuff. You can get almost everything there. A short cord with a carabiner is useful for hanging your pack at the end of the bunk. Keep the pack off the floor is a good thing.
