Washing
For those who wash their clothes while in the shower, I don’t think it’s fair to use additional hot water, and shower time, that might be needed by others. That’s why hot water is not provided for clothes washing. Besides, modern laundry detergents work with cold water, a lot better than shampoo...- MechEngr69

Soap/Shampoo/Conditioner/Clothes
For body soap I take a small bar that fits inside a round, i.e. cylindrical, plastic pill container with the child-proof catch removed. With the wet bar standing upright, the soap doesn't stick to the round sides, and dries even with the cap on.- MechEngr69

My draft winter Camino Frances packing list
I recommend Compeed-type blister cushions; you could buy them when you arrive in Spain. Also, if your feet tend to be cold when you sleep, take a couple of very thin plastic bags, each large enough to fit over your foot. At bedtime put on a thin sock, then a plastic bag, then a heavy sock. This...- MechEngr69

3 simple questions: Lock, sleeping bag/liner, PJs
Hi! I arrived in SdC on May 5, 2015. It was an amazing walk and I hope yours is the same. My pack was 7.5 kg, and I brought only a polyester fleece sleep sack, and a small polyester pillowcase to encase my very light down jacket to use as a pillow. I used an albergue blanket every night, and at...- MechEngr69

What rating sleeping bag?
For the second half of my Camino, I walked from Burgos on April 19, 2015, arriving in SdC on May 5. I had only a poly fleece sack (1.4 lbs.), and I used blankets at every albergue. My theory is that the blankets would be fairly clean in the spring since they had been cleaned over the winter...- MechEngr69

Running Shoes or Hiking Shoes?
I walked from SJPdP to Burgos last fall. I took two pairs of trail running shoes: 1) Columbia Shastalavista Omin-Tech trail, and 2) TEVA Raith Leather WP (waterproof). Both worked well, and had been tested (a.k.a. broken-in) during the summer of 2013 hiking in the mountains east of Salt Lake...- MechEngr69
