    Yet another packing list critique request

    I was quite happy with my Salewa boots on my first Camino, bot a single blister. On the second one from Lisbon it was even better with Salmon shoes GTX X4, I'll be wearing them on my future Camino's as well

    Documenting our journey advice

    I used a Dropbox app to backup my photos each time I found WiFi as well as to share images automatically with folks back home. I warmly recommended writing a blog... I wanted to keep track of Camino experience and discovered I had a lot of fun writing it

    Washing clothes - ideas and equipment

    I've used Scrubba on Camino Frances last year and found it great, definitely part of my gear for all future Caminos For me it was quicker and more thorough laundry than hand washing.

    How to get the hang of trekking poles?

    This worked for me... Just attach pole straps to your wrists and just drag them, don't grab the handles, while letting your hands move in a natural rhythm while walking... After a while grab the pole handles ... I did saw a great video for this but I'll need to dig it up

    Another packing review.

    As far as I know you can't get BodyGlide in Spain.. I got mine on Amazon

    Rain Gear

    Ferrino Trekker worked for me, and I warmly recommend it. I got mine at SJPDP, but I am not sure Ferrino brand is available in Spain, based on their distributor list

    Osprey Pack - Talon or Stratos?

    My experience with Talon 44 was overall excellent... Confortable and practical... Though I agree backpack choice is a personal one

    What do you wish you left at home?

    Last April I ditched rain pants at Roncesvalles donation box and next time I'll leave home an electric coil, cup, and extra wool shirt as well as sleeping mat (should have heeded forum consensus on that one) Buen Camino!

    Yet another packing list critique request

    :) we'll see ..I'll post a equipment critique after I finish the Camino that guarantee is for specific Salewa boots+socks combo and I think the boots are the more important part of it..(they probably launched a new model since I can't find mine on their website) ...like I said I was quite...

    Yet another packing list critique request

    @Kanga I agree, that's another reason for foam mat @Diogo92 I agree for the sleeping bag, I've had this one for ages, if I find one on sale before I go I'll get a lighter one. S shaped hook was advised by many forum members as useful when hanging clothes and toiletries when showering Liquid...
