    Jeans on the camino

    You already have your shorts why not get a pair of sports/running tights/leggings and wear them underneath your shorts. If it warms up you can slip them off later. Win/Win! I won't add to all the doom and gloom here regarding jeans but most of it is true.

    Camino Frances in March. Warm clothes

    I'd ditch the fleece hood for a down jacket or equivalent (I have a Patagonia Micro Puff) as this will provide better warmth but pack smaller and, as said above, without a hood which is just a faff and you already have cap/hat/buff. Good Luck.

    New Gear

    Your old gear will be fine, but uncomfortable, and may fall apart as you go along. New shoes/boots will be far more comfortable, probably lighter, give better support and may be waterproof too. Much the same for your pack as a new one will be more comfortable, carry better, waterproof etc. Ultreïa!

    Sleeping sac - I'm looking for the lightest

    I have one that's about 250g and stuffs down to nothing. It has a down filling and is excellent.

    Looking for a small very light tripod for iphone

    One of the Gorilla Pod series, the 'mini' might do the trick. I've just ordered on for myself.

    Feedback on packing would be (really) appreciated.

    What's the paracord/clips for? Not sure you need a balaclava. Stone?

    Euro Phone Charger with Dual Output

    I order these from the Amazon France site for delivery to me in the UK but they might not ship to Oz; your best option might be to buy when you get to Europe, there are tech shops all over the place these days. You'll not go wrong with Anker. Good Luck.

    28L pack on the Camino Frances this October

    I have a Patagonia Nano Puff jacket and I think that it is the garment with the best warmth / packed size ratio of any I've had. It is my "go to" jacket and always goes with me when I'm travelling. Ultreïa!

    Show me your winter footwear, boots and socks.

    Apart from the boots/so ks thing do give some serious thought to a pair of gaiters. They seem to be regarded as a bit old fashioned these days but they do a great job in mud/rain/ wet grass/snow etc..

    Photography equipment?..

    I simply cannot imagine any walk without a camera, phones are really good these days but a camera will always be just that but better; it's all to do with the lens. There are simply masses of really decent small cameras available and you don't need to break the bank together one. Mine is in a...

    How common are hiking shorts on men

    I was ejected from Milan Cathedral for wearing shorts but it was 1964 and they were a pair of disreputable rugby shorts. Since then I've always warn shorts, proper shorts to just above the knee but not in big churches and never wear a hat in church.

    Sink plugs?

    Whenever you travel, anywhere, home or abroad, ALWAYS take a travel plug; it's the law. I had a travel plug for about twenty years, always stayed in my washbag. It got perished and crumbled away so I chucked it; recently went to Morocco, lovely modernised riad but no plug; ah I said, I have a...

    Using a larger Backpack, just not filling it up. Thoughts?

    You'll end up filling it!

    Let's talk waist packs!

    It's all here so you pays your money and makes your choice. I've never used waist pack but do carry a small cross body bag with me for mostly evening use it was from Rohan in the UK. My main comment would be that a waist pack type thing makes a obvious target and I'd almost certainly try to...

    Question about power banks

    I have an Anker 20,000 mah power bank that I keep for emergencies but have just bought a hany 10,000 mah one from Aukey that is light enough to carry with me all the time. Beware of the small ones, I have found them most disappointing.
