    Trailrunners

    Also my Altra Timps felt like slippers by week three on the CF. I felt every stone. I will never buy a shoe without a rock plate again.

    Trailrunners

    I am always surprised about recommendations for Brooks Cascadias. The collar/ opening of my daughter's started to open up and disintegrate by day 5 on the CF.

    Where can I buy these sheets?

    Last summer on the CF there was a family of 4 who all had light weight sheet type liners that also had a pillow pocket. They were sewn on one side so they would open all the way on the other. I brought a mummy type liner that I found frustrating because often i just wanted to lay on top of it...

    WhatsApp Question

    I actually didn't mind that they contacted me. In fact, each time it was quite useful, but just surprising. At some point I must have given them my phone number when I thought we had only emailed. I just talked to a friend who uses whatsapp a lot more than I do and she said that yes, I must...

    WhatsApp Question

    I have tried looking online, but I am still confused. I am used to using WhatApp with people already in my contacts list, but what if I want to contact say, an albergue using WhatsApp and do not want to create a new contact for them? Also, when I have been in other countries I was surprised...

    What Type of Cell Phone Adapter Do I Need?

    @tomnorth the amazon link you gave is now broken and I am wondering if what you used is something like this: Thanks! Insignia™ - 3-Port USB International Wall Charger - Black https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-3-port-usb-international-wall-charger-black/5480800.p?skuId=5480800

    Has anyone used a trekking umbrella?

    So I bought the six moon designs umbrella, but I can't really seem to figure out how to attach it properly to an Osprey Kyte or Osprey Kestrel. I have looked at videos online for different but the people in them are always walking and talking and I can't quite make out how they are affixed to...

    Can we talk TOWELS please?

    I bought my hammam/fouta/Turkish towels from a seller from Turkey on Etsy. Also three packs of dish towel sized of these types of towels are sold in Trader Joe's grocery stores in U.S. Just offering other non-Amazon options for anyone interested :)

    The Lush shampoo bar review thread

    I just bought the Liggett's sample pack this week and have tried two kinds. This is my first time trying shampoo bars, so I'm not sure if this is how they are, but neither of the ones I tried created any lather. My hair felt very squeaky clean which I guess is OK but I definitely need a...

    The Lush shampoo bar review thread

    I just looked at Matador Flat Pak or the JR Liggetts carrycases for soap/shampoo bars and thought I'd share. It looks like the Matador might be an interesting option because it closes at the top and the JR Liggett one looks like it doesn't. I might spring for the Matador and try it.

    Poles don't fit in checked luggage!

    With two of us traveling I bought a "light" plane ticket (carry on only) and one that costs more but allows for one piece of checked luggage. The only checked luggage will be similar to one that someone mentioned above with the collapsible chair sack. I put our wrapped poles in a yoga mat...

    Water bottle carrier. Simple

    Hoping that fellow pilgrims will consider not using single use plastic water bottles on the pilgrimage. How about something like this that holds an infinitely reusable one? https://www.hyperlitemountaingear.com/products/porter-water-bottle-holder-nalgene I use and love these...

    Thanks so much! I am going to order this one and try it out.

    Has anyone used a trekking umbrella?

    I have been searching for a trekking umbrella or one that I can strap on with velcro and toggles to go hands free, but I am not sure what to buy! The Eurochims are too expensive for me. Does anyone have a suggestion for one that is not a very large canopy like some are (i would like it under...

    For Sale/Wanted Mac Pac Sleeping Bags Wanted

    I also tried the jungle bag snug pak which is about $70 and compresses but even though it says it's under 2 pounds, it feels heavy. Also knowing that there are lighter weight better options out there makes me not wan t to keep this bag. I really would rather not spend a ton of money to get bags...

    For Sale/Wanted Mac Pac Sleeping Bags Wanted

    I would really like to get this bag but the ones that I've found online are over 200$ and I need two so I'd rather not spend that much. Thank you for the suggestion though! That's the bummer of this that the MacPac I want would be about $120 each and I could get two for basically the price of...
