    Urgent footwear question

    One thing you can try is a thick (hiking) pair of merino wool socks. I use them and recently switched to new shoes with zero blisters. I am speaking of a brand that is particularly good, pricey though. I paid $39 CDN I believe. I have three pair. A colleague in Search & Rescue also uses them...

    Packing Pacer Poles Air Travel

    Hi Pacer pole Users. Mine arrived a short time ago. Due to the angled handle and 5" width at that end , I am having a very hard time finding a shipping tube to pack them in.

    When it comes to the wine, "I would rather have a bottle in front of me than frontal labotomy" WCF. Funny there are all these corkscrews lying around but no plugs for the sinks? Here is a link to a bag that has gotten great reviews locally from pilgrims. One side has no fill the other has...

    What is the one luxury or non-essential item you would bring with you?

    I think the jury is in. I will have to pack Mascara and some lipstick. ANd my beard trimmer of course. Having said that you will probably be able to regonize me en route!;)

    What is the one luxury or non-essential item you would bring with you?

    For me a beard trimmer, rechargeable. About 250 gm (small). With the sweating all day shaving would result in raw or rashly skin. With a trimmer, I won't walk out the far end looking like Santa Claus either nor will I have to go through the itchy beard growing phase while hiking. P.S. This...

    Smart Packing and Unexpected Backpack Items

    For all intents and purposes, the best thread I have read on the forum. No over-engineering, simple logical and uber useful. Thanks. Based on my travels, earplugs... Huge. After 10 days in Spain with a snoring friend and no sleep I ended up run down and got a nasty chest infection and fever.
