    Let's talk waist packs!

    I have walked 2 caminos alone (although never truly alone really) and I found it really annoying having to take my pack off to get to my water bottle all the time. So I ended up investing in a belt that held my water bottle and just a couple of other things. It was the only thing I could find...

    My draft winter Camino Frances packing list

    And besides, if you use merino (wool) as your main layer it will dry overnight in the albergue anyway. So will the socks if you work at it. When I did it last I wore one set of clothes during the day, washed them that evening and they were dry the next day always. So it can be done. Ended up...

    Water bottle or Hydration Pack?

    I started my Camino with a camelback but managed to lose the valve within 6 days and couldn't find a replacement. Ended up using 2 small bottles and had to purchase a small bag to put them in as I was travelling alone and I drink quite often. Didn't want to have to stop and take off my pack...

    Comparison of various blister prevention methods - A podiatrist guide

    Thank you Alex Walker for stating that threading is a risk. As a nurse I've often wondered why anyone would recommend passing a non-sterile thread through a blister (which is sterile inside until broken) then, horror of horrors, leaving it there! A pathway for bacteria! I like the iodine and...

    Taking photographs

    I've also used a Nikon coolpix - small, far, far more versatile than my phone and if it gets wet it doesn't matter. Also if it did get wrecked, it costs much less to replace than my phone! And the SD cards have tons of room.

    Question for Ferrino and Sea-to-Summit Poncho owners

    Would it be possible to sew in some longish strips of velcro near the snaps? Perhaps that would help.

    My Packing List - first time on Camino. March-May

    I haven't done a Camino yet (first coming up this March) but I use 2 poles always while hiking. Was convinced to do so by a REALLY fit 21 year old hiking guide who uses them always as it not only helps you with balance, but greatly reduces stress on knees and hips. They're great to use when...
