My choices so far are Wranglers from Walmart. 92% Nylon, 8% Spandex boxer brief a size larger than normal worked for me. Should last and dry Quick, or REI Wool and Tencel boxers or boxer briefs. Smartwool didn't fit well. I'll be hiking in cooler weather. I've been trying different kinds for...
This has been a big question for me too, what camera to take. I won't get to go on my camino for a while so I've been going back and forth, but the best advice I read on the web was don't take anything you can't afford to loose. I was debating with my options, my nikon z50, my pixel 7pro, or...
Looking at it more (and now from my computer). it looks like this is actually a google maps "My Maps".
The instructions to delete a My Maps I copied for you below. To get into my maps, try this link

Well this brings up an important safety idea:
If you ever found your self lost and strayed away from a camino and need someone to help. Just start discussing albergues and if they have blankets with yourself, and someone will show up to argue with you. Then you can ask them how to get back to...

On amazon. Link above. By the way I liked your other questions. I've only asked a few and sometimes people attack them (meaning to or not). I got an answer to a similar item I would have...
All this discussion got me looking for mugs to take and I came across this which was really interesting. Plate/bowl/cutting board. I guess you could even drink from it.
It does it all.
