    Yes

    I don’t like mummy sleeping bags

    You can get inexpensive lightweight square sleeping bags at Walmart. I was surprised by how light and warm it was. Probably Ozark brand but not sure.

    1 size larger

    It really is individual! Best advice is to put variations to the test at home. Boots and socks killed me. I had blisters on blisters. I’d only consider them again if I was going in cold months. I endorse socks n sandals.

    Hiking Sandals only?

    You can definitely go w sandals but I’d bring 2 pair. I saw some people without socks but with socks worked better for me. One pair of standard sandals and one pair with a closed toe, like a water sandal, for rougher terrain.

    How do you use such a small pack?!?

    I echo what others are saying and I don’t know what sizes you wear but speaking as a bigger person, my clothes weigh more and so they take up more space. So maybe that’s causing the space crunch. I saved by brining clothes that were all lightweight synthetic fabrics. Crocs are definitely bulky...

    Deodorant Preferences

    I knew I’d get naysayed but not carrying it *is* an option. Hottest summers on record rendered deodorant completely useless. If needed you can do a quick refresh in a bathroom. Many people can’t tolerate scents or chemicals, or even essential oils which are highly concentrated and not without...

    Deodorant Preferences

    My advice is don’t even bother, I tossed my trial-sized one after a week. It wasn’t helping and was just more weight in the pack.

    Towel - Help!

    I found a lot of those shower areas to be tiny and humid, not really conducive to drying off and dressing, plus other people are often waiting to get in.

    Towel - Help!

    While I’m by no means a prude, I was shocked and surprised. I am from the US, and believe it or not, was essentially raised to be a nun. It definitely was a mixed multigenerational crowd. However I did read in multiple places that facilities might even have co-ed showers and that it might not be...

    Towel - Help!

    I should (lol?) have specified modesty *outside* the shower. Sometimes my towel served as a dressing room. There were several young men just walking around nude in my first couple albergues. While that’s fine for them I have no desire to walk around the dormitory nude.

    Towel - Help!

    On my first two trips I took a thin light weight cotton cloth. I hesitate to say it was kente cloth because technically it probably was not, however an African student assistant at my old job gave it to me as a gift. You can find inexpensive ones like it if you live in a large metro area at...

    Footwear from O Cebreiro to Santiago

    I used sandals. You’ll be fine

    What clothes do you wear after shower

    I think part of it depends on the time of year as well. I tried to have my things be multipurpose. The first trip I brought a long lightweight skirt. It served as a changing room and also something to sleep in or wear if I wanted to look nicer. On my second trip I brought a lightweight dress...

    Which poncho (between these 2)....

    Frogg Toggs but add in the Frogg Togg pants or see if you can exchange the poncho for the pants suit. FT worked great for me

    For the Women Only...Walking With DD Breasts

    Buen Camino! I’m a 38F/G and 5’4”. I’ve tried several different scenarios. You can get a sports bra in your size from Lane Bryant, not all of the styles are equal though. Look for the ones with sturdier straps. For me however I feel too constrained and bulky in them. Lane Bryant also carries a...
