    Name on all my stuff?

    On my camino 2018 I shared a washing machine with another german guy. When it was ready we figured out that we had the same decathlon underpants with the same size and color. No chance to distinct them. So we sat there laughing beside the washing machine. It is a nice memory and I still do not...

    Yet another sleeping bag question!

    I used the MT500 from Decathlon, but had to replace the compression bag for a better one. It worked also for sleeping outside under my tarp at the beach several times on my Camino del Norte.

    It becomes harder to find germans on the camino

    I am working on "se jermen acksent" and use Hirschtalg secretely (vegans hate it), but the other stuff does not relate to me. I have Meindl boots (I think they are more common among Germans) a Bulgarian Tashev backpack and a shiny yellow t-shirt and bandana. And the best beer I had on the camino...

    Shirts and underwear

    I used quite cheap Kalenji runner underpants from Decathlon on my Camino del Norte in a warm September. Funny thing was, that I have shared a washing machine with another pilgrim in Santillana del Mar and when we took out our cleaned clothes we figured out that we had the same underpants with...

    Water bladder, disposable bottle, reusable bottle? I have the answer!

    After I have lost my Nalgene bottle on the first day I made the rest with a belgian plastic bottle from Spa. Two of them are still part of my essential hiking gear.

    Water bladder, disposable bottle, reusable bottle? I have the answer!

    The Italian soccer team of Juventus Turino once was playing in pink jerseys and ordered new ones in England. Because of a mistake they got the now well known black and white striped ones. They stayed with this design. But pink is still used some times for the away shirt.

    Water bladder, disposable bottle, reusable bottle? I have the answer!

    Fits perfect with these Gucci Flip Flops. Let's all become Snob'o'grinos ;) https://www.breuninger.com/de/marken/gucci/zehentrenner-gg-marmont/1000748751/p/?variant=e7b34b7869cb8e48ef1d53bbdc8b804a

    Sleeping bag

    I used my +5°C sleeping bag on the Camino de la Costa in September every night. When it was really warm I had the zipper open and used it as a quilt like dougfitz. I would like to recommend to replace the original sack by a compressionable and waterproof one to have more space in the backpack.
