    Just Another Packing List

    May I suggest some benedryl tablets? In 2012 I had an allegic reaction to something used on an apple on the Camino. Whelps, lips swollen, etc. the benedryl sure came in handy. Not to mention possible bee sting.

    Water bottle or hydration pouch ('camel back')?

    I carried a couple of 1 liter bottles you buy in a market. I bought water every few days to replace the bottles and filled them along the way. By buying new ones, they didnt get too rank. I know I wasnt helping the environment by buying plastic bottles, but it was just easier for me.

    Croc shower sandals and other ways to cut weight

    I have an inexpensive pair of slip on sandles made exclusively of a light foam rubber. This post brings to mind an incident that happened to a friend of mine when we were walking CF in Sept 2012.

    Practice, practice, practice

    Falcon, Sounds like your approach is simular to the one I planned. I've never walked the Camino (yet) I leave Wednesday for a Sept 1 start. I had suspected the first week would be one of adaptation and adjustments. I've been reading this and another forum and have gotten valuable information...

    Socks

    I agree with Pieces, shoes, socks, feet, and days on the Camino ( or any other trail) are different. Of all the extras you may be tempted to take, foot care items should be considered. They are the most used part each day! :D
