    Insoles

    I use "Powerstep Pinnacle Plus Full Length Orthotic Shoe Inserts - Built-In Metatarsal Support" in all of my shoes and carry an extra set with me. I get them through Amazon. This gets me through an 800-1000 mile camino over a two month period.

    Which accessories for Sony RX100 V?

    I have been very happy with mine and mostly carry it in my front right pocket. I use the spare battery and charger as well as extra memory cards. I also have an add on grip that I love. I carried a travel tripod for a couple thousand miles and never use it though I use one frequently with my...

    Pacer poles

    I have the standard twist lock carbon fiber Pacer Poles and love them. I always use the rubber tips on all terrain and have thousands of miles on the poles with no issues. If I lost or damaged them I would buy the same ones immediately without question. Good luck with your decision. Mike

    Arrrgh. . . It's Too Red. Will It Be Like Carrying An Easter Egg?

    Fit, comfort, and functionality first then my choice would be 2, 3, 1. Green, on the dark side if possible. Next any other subdued color. Last choice would be any bright or fluorescent color with red, orange, and blue being the most offensive for me to wear. They may work for some people but...

    Backpack weight

    If the pack fits well, has a good waist strap and you are not carrying the weight on your shoulders but on your hips then you should be fine. My pack usually weighs 4.5k but I can't really tell any difference when I have extra food and water and it weighs 6k it feels pretty much the same at the...

    Staying dry in Oct. Options needed

    Raincoat and pants have worked for me in the past along with a pack cover but the problem has been trying to see through wet glasses. This year I am bringing an umbrella to see if that works any better at keeping the lenses of my glasses dry.

    My new pack. Show me yours!

    My Osprey pack has a mesh type pocket that is outside of the main part of the pack. My patch is sewn on to this outer pocked so it does not compromise the integrity of the pack. Maybe yours is similar?

    My new pack. Show me yours!

    Yeah, right . . . we believe you :D

    My new pack. Show me yours!

    Annie, That is a beautiful pack now that you have decorated it properly. I'm so glad you decided to walk again, I couldn't believe it when you said you were done walking. Buen Camino!

    Smart Packing and Unexpected Backpack Items

    Osprey backpacks and possibly others have a whistle built-in as part of the chest strap buckle. I think this often is overlooked.

    What is Your Comfortable Pack Weight? / Gear Advice?

    Depending on your luck and the length of your Camino one extra pair may not be enough. The branded rubber tips that came with my poles seem to be very long wearing. I have never worn through one. I have lost them when the tip became wedged between rocks or the pole went down a hole and came back...

    Rain gear ??

    If it is raining castañas you better have a real good umbrella!

    Rain gear ??

    I agree with SYates. In Galicia (and Northern Portugal) pack rain gear and enjoy every beautiful step. Buen Camino!

    What gear is the lightest in your pack?

    All we can get here in Utah is dehydrated water. It is pretty much the same but I don't think the flavor is quite as good.
