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!
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...

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...
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...
