    Lightweight backpack for petite female

    There is a little contradiction here: the simplest, the lightest; each additional pocket weights. Here are the lightest backpacks I know: - https://www.natureetdecouvertes.com/outdoor/sac-a-dos-bagages/sacs-a-dos-randonnee/sac-a-dos-ultraleger-30-litres-53143440 -...

    Small Folding Knife - Buses/Trains in 2024

    I never heard about knives restrictions in buses or trains. In France at least, you are allowed to carry a knife (in a bag, in a backpack...) but not to hold it on yourself, especially if the blade can be locked open (like for Opinel). It makes a difference between "port d'arme" and "transport...

    Backpack Replacement Recos?

    Wilsa 38L. Weights only 790 g. https://www.rayonrando.com/sacs-a-dos-de-randonnee-35-45-l/1533-sac-a-dos-trail-running-raid-38-l.html But it is not made to carry heavy contents. I limit myself to 7kgs including water and food.

    Question about towels

    Towels are not mentionned because we pilgrim never have a shower, nor a bath. That is why the Botafumeiro has been made: dispel odors.
  6. Pafayac

    Poles

    Walking with a single pole is not advised, because it would lead to a bad posture.

    Dealing with Vertigo: Seeking Solutions for Balance Issues

    A single walking pole is not advised because it leads to a bad posture of the body. Try walking with a pair of poles.

    Is it possible to order from Decathlon for delivery to an albergue?

    Or Paypal ?

    Is it possible to order from Decathlon for delivery to an albergue?

    Perhaps AMEX is not accepted on the site, but Visa or Mastercard should be. However European sales sites often require double authentication... do you know how to perform it with your bank application ?

    Is it possible to order from Decathlon for delivery to an albergue?

    Why don't you try Poste Restante (General Delivery) ? Poste_restante

    Say No! to rubber tips on your poles.

    When visiting a church, please leave your poles (and cap or hat) at the entrance: - you will thus respect the building - you will show people that a pilgrim is there, in the church, visiting or even... praying ! ;-)

    Say No! to rubber tips on your poles.

    noodle recipes are very useful, especially if they don't require any containers, which become rare in albergues...
  13. Pafayac

    App for tracking mileage/sharing photos?

    I heard about FindPenguins, but I have never used it, because I do not eat penguins.
  14. Pafayac

    WOOT!!!! Final Packing List - please comment!

    I am just curious: I understand that you bring 2 Credit Card, and 1 Debit Card ? Take care that they can be lost or stolen: why do not take 1 Credit Card and register another in your phone, in order to be able to pay contactless with it ?
  15. Pafayac

    Say No! to rubber tips on your poles.

    I understand that rubber tips should be removed put on when walking on asphalt, but removed put on again when walking on soft ground. I will try to put a madeleine instead, but I doubt it will survive more than 5 meters.

    Rain jacket recommendations

    I use this one because it is ultralight: ultra-sil-nano-poncho It is not as fragile as you can think.
  17. Pafayac

    Charging phones/watch/earbuds

    USB-A cord is the best choice for Spain, because in several places (buses, albergues...) you will find USB charging docks, and they are USB-A, not USB-C.
  18. Pafayac

    Old habitual or new technological and lighter

    I would carry the lighter items, and wear the more comfortable ones.
  19. Pafayac

    Quiet pole tips?

    Do you have replacement friend ?
  20. Pafayac

    Brands of clothing (merino wool)

    I think that people who can say that is not the person who wear the clothe, but the fellow pilgrim who walk with him/her !
