    Here's everything for our June Camino

    A pair of flip flops are very handy for the shower. I simply tied them onto the side of my pack using the draw cord on the side.

Also they are quite a tight fit. I generally like my underwear to be nice and loose. It allows your skin to breathe. I want to...
