Hi,
Does the Wise Pilgrim app work for the Portuguese or Le Puy routes? (I leave in July for my 3rd camino and haven't yet decided which route I will take - any opinions would be welcome. I'm torn between Lisbon-Santiago, Le Puy to SJPDP, or a return to the Frances.)
I have taken off the following items off of my list; three shirts, the sarong, the sleep sheet, the white LED light, the rain pants and one pair of pants. I've added some duct tape and some zip lock bags.
Thanks for your input everyone!!! (Only 3 weeks until I'm there!!!!!)
These are the gaiters I am taking. They are worn over trail/running shoes to keep gravel etc. out. I LOVE them and they make a huge difference. These will come for sure. But I will ditch the sarong too and probably the shoulder purse.
I wasn't going to bring the rain pants but then today there was a loooong steady rain during my training walk and without them I would have been uncomfortably chilly. I read that Galician rains can also be chilly. I still might leave them here though.
Hello all,
I leave in exactly 4 weeks from today and I think that I have sorted out my packing list. If you have any feedback on it I would welcome that. Thanks in advance. (With water bottle full my backpack weighs around 15 lbs)

Hi @jojo,
Was your hydration system rigged up like a Smartube? I wonder because I have a Platypus system but want to switch over to a bottle and tube system. I like the Platypus tube and mouthpiece but really dislike the water reservoir. I'd like an easily seen and easily-refillable bottle.
Thanks
Hi David,
Great video! How do you carry your water? Do you use a Smartube? Also is you food stuffed in there somewhere or do you just carry the gorp?
Thanks,
Jennifer
