    SLR Camera...to bring or not to bring?

    Scott, That's exactly what I did on the Camino Frances. I brought the Canon 50D and a old 13inch MacBook. I wouldn't do that again though, too much weight. I have now purchased the EyeFi card mentioned earlier. It has the capability to feed my Canon photos directly through my iPhone and upload...

    trekking poles

    Airport security in Seville had no issues with me carrying them aboard last year. I'd pulled them apart (making them about 9"/22cm shorter) and stowed them in my backpack. I also had a small pocket knife they let me keep but I believe it's because I told them I was a pilgrim heading for the...
