    Sexism in outdoor clothing

    Interestingly, I have quite the opposite view. I do not like to wear bright colors, so I am constantly frustrated by the pinks and blues of women's outdoor clothing and gear. I prefer black, dark gray, olive, and taupe!

    Over Organized Woman's Packing List!

    It seems that there is quite a bit of duplication. For example, I am a lip balm junkie and plan to take 2 of them which I think is one more than I need, but it looks like you have 5? I also enjoy journaling and plan to bring one. However, it looks like you are planning to bring 2? I'd also...

    Sports bra recommendations?

First of all because it is almost 10% of the weight that I hope to be when I begin the Camino (yes, I plan to lose some as I've picked up some excess these past few years and I don't want to haul it with...

    Disclaimer: I have not yet walked the Camino. However, that said, I can give my 2 cents on 3 items. First, if you have a sharp knife, you shouldn't need a vegetable peeler. Second, a cutting board is not essential, but helpful. They make small roll-up ones that are lightweight. Third, for...

    Sleeping time: what to wear?

    I will preface this by saying that I have not yet walked the Camino. I have, however, gone hiking in Washington State. When I am hiking or traveling, I generally tend toward two sleep options, one for warm weather and one for cold weather. For warm weather, I prefer a tank top and men's boxer...

    Tips

    I would be interested in knowing what types of stretches aided with plantar fasciitis. I have developed this over the past year and it remains painful to walk in normal life, some days more than others. I currently walk about 3 miles a day with a packpack weighing more than I plan to walk the...
