    What not to take? And what to not forget?

    I live in Germany and that's what I did in October. 9 euros each.

    24 Lt. pack for the camino frances

    I walked the Camino Portuguese a few months ago with a half empty Talon 44 because the Talon 22 was just a wee bit too small for my gear. It weighed 6.1 kg (13.44 pounds) without food or water.

    What not to take? And what to not forget?

    The second card is an absolute must in my world. I'm American, but live in Europe and have a ton of difficulty with being flagged for fraud even while at home. Thinking I'd get ahead of the problem I called both banks and filled out the forms on my online banking accounts notifying them I was...

    Useful item but hard to justify in your pack

    There's three pairs of flip-flops living under my bed because I found lighter ones and they aren't the only items that have been exiled from my backpack in order to keep my pack under 6kg ... my one luxury is a bamboo bath towel ... it's heavier than the last couple of microfiber towels I...

    Ass Pads - A Serious Topic!

    I simply use my folded up rain pants which I keep in an outside pocket of my backpack.

    Ass Pads - A Serious Topic!

    Hmmm ... I didn't know such a thing existed.

    Things you do NOT need to bring on the Camino

    I was quite surprised to find one built into the chest strap buckle on my pack. Genius idea!!!

    Where to buy Shell for backpack

    I walked up the hill to Bergkirche Niedergründau which is on the Jakobsweg (James Way) near where I live and found one hanging on a nail. I thought maybe someone had hung it up so the person that lost it could find it easier, but then I found a second one hanging on a sign. Then a third, also...
