    Favorite shirts?

    When in September did you start? I'll be going in October (starting the trail on the 8th)

    Favorite shirts?

    Thanks for all the recommendations everyone, lots of new brands for me to research! I'm spending the summer in Virginia for work, so planning on several weekends doing dayhikes on the Appalachian trail - perfect opportunity to test new stuff :P

    Favorite shirts?

    Oh, yeah, I guess I could have been more specific haha. I have all my other layers, just looking for the base shirt that I will wear when walking 🙂

    Favorite shirts?

    Cancelled twice thanks to COVID, but it looks like I will *finally* get to do the Primitivo this fall. Although I had all my gear ready to go back in 2020, I now have to buy some new stuff thanks to wear and tear, a new dog who for some unholy reason likes to chew on wool clothing, and putting...

    Knee straps and Knee bands, helpful?

    Thanks!

    October Primitivo Gear

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll definitely swap my teeny muslin Square for a more towel-sized muslin (still lighter than a microfiber towel but plenty to dry me thoroughly). I'll have to keep pondering the rain pants; seems very personal preference. Hard for me to make decisions on what...

    Knee straps and Knee bands, helpful?

    Hmm, I may have to test out out at home. Maybe the tension rash that I got was a one time thing because of the *really* steep inclines I was doing (or a reaction to something else and not actually a tension rash). My Camino will only we 12-13 days, so it would be nice to only have to swap the...

    Did you change out your K-tape every day, or leave it on for a couple days at a time? Trying to decide how much I'll need to bring (the weight adds up!). Last time I tried leaving K-tape on overnight I wound up with a tension rash, so I might have to redo it every day anyway to avoid that *sigh*

    October Primitivo Gear

    Hello, My step mom and I will be walking the Primitivo next October (2020). I have a bunch of gear already from other hikes, but she's planning to buy a bunch of stuff during fall sales this year. With that in mind, we're looking for some feedback on Primitivo gear for the fall. We're planning...

    Time for Some Trail Runners

    The Bauerfeind ViscoPed insoles? (I'm experimenting with different insoles right now, might give these a try)

    Struggling with sock choice

    Yeah, I couldn't do the super cheap ones. I actually use a pair of Wolfords! :eek: I should probably find a middle ground lol. Haven't tried compression ones, I might have to pick up a pair to try when I start training this fall.

    How big is your pack?

    For everyone who uses an Osprey Sirrus/Stratos, do you have the newer model with the adjustable torso length, seamless mesh along the back/hip belt, and the vertical pocket on the front, or do you have the older model (non-adjustable torso, mesh but not seamless, no front pocket)? Or has anyone...

    Struggling with sock choice

    Yeah, for me I think it was between my 3rd and 4th toes that the socks really started to hurt. I tried taping between the toes but that wasn't really successful, so I wound up ditching the liners for the rest of the hike, slapping some leukotape on my toes and heels, and calling it good. Wish...

    Struggling with sock choice

    I tested the Injinji liners on the Inca Trail last year and had mixed results. On the days with no steep descents they worked great, but on days with a lot of steep descents they *really* hurt in between my toes. I suspect the problem was that the toes of the socks were a tad too long for my...
