    E-Sim Cards

    Hey! I just want to say thank you for this post! I’ve been using the AloSIM for a couple days now in both Germany and France and so far it’s been fantastic! Looking forward to the same when I start my camino next week! Thank you!! 🙏

    Looking for Long Pants and Shorts with Great Pockets for the Camino

    Ah! Things I don’t own… no wonder I didn’t know! 🤣 Thank you for clearing that up!

    Looking for Long Pants and Shorts with Great Pockets for the Camino

    I was looking at the website and they say they have a new “improved” version of the dry on the fly line? I’m curious, since I couldn’t find an answer anywhere, it says they have an 8” “pokey things pocket” - what on earth does that mean??? 🤔 That said, even the biggest iPhone (aka the one I...

    Looking for Long Pants and Shorts with Great Pockets for the Camino

    I recently saw a Camino vlogger talking about Duluth shorts on her packing list. I looked at the ones she suggested - they’re the Dry on the Fly shorts (also available as pants and skirts) - they are apparently somewhat stretchy, have like 7 pockets? And dry quite quickly. I was also happily...

    Portable Charger

    In the quest to lighten my pack, I felt like the 10000mAh charger I had was just too heavy at about 202 grams. So I picked up this smaller guy. It seems like it’s got potential (haven’t had it all that long). It has a built-in lightning charger and a type C charging cord built in as well (so I...

    Optimizing Pack Weight: Layering Tips for Camino in August-September

    Good advice! I think my unknown data point at the moment is what to expect in that time frame for the coldest morning? So, based on that, my answers are maybe and yes for now. 😬

    Optimizing Pack Weight: Layering Tips for Camino in August-September

    Thanks C! I really appreciate your response. Is the rain jacket the extent of your rain gear? I tend to get cold easily as well, so I’ve got the merino buff packed also. I just picked up a Turkish towel (thanks to the great advice received here) and that has the potential to make the Final Cut...

    Optimizing Pack Weight: Layering Tips for Camino in August-September

    Oh no, not emotionally ready for that yet! 😂 I understand that I can buy anything I might need - I just hate to buy it again if it’s something I already have at home (at this point, after years of hiking, sailing, camping, etc I could open my own REI outlet full of extraneous gear I’ve...

    Optimizing Pack Weight: Layering Tips for Camino in August-September

    Thanks, Rob! I've watched your packing list video at least twice now? On Saturday (during my great packing debacle!) I downloaded your packing list spreadsheet and tried to align my items with what you had down and I discovered two things: my stuff still seemed to weigh more than yours, and I...

    Optimizing Pack Weight: Layering Tips for Camino in August-September

    Hey All! I leave for my Camino in just under 50 days, so I'm in the quarter-final stages of packing/shaving weight from my pack. My Camino is scheduled to stretch from 21 August until 30 September. I'm really struggling with figuring out the best layering options all while trying to keep my...

    What brand sports bra?

    Just thought I’d add another option to the list (don’t think I saw it yet?) A few days ago I ordered two merino bras from a company called Branwyn. I wasn’t having much luck with IceBreaker or SmartWool (I have bras from both.) This company offers two different styles - I purchased both. They...

    Women out there - Deuter backpack

    Disclaimer: I haven’t walked my Camino yet, that’s happening in about 5 months. That said, I will be carrying the Deuter Futura Pro 34L. I live in a somewhat rural area so going somewhere to get fitted for packs, and subsequently try them out, wasn’t really an option. So, we measured at home and...
