    38 Litre or 48 Litre backpack?

    Good luck with your planning and training. I just returned 10 days ago and used the kestrel 38 for the second time. Probably a bit big even. I might suggest you mightn't need a sleeping bag in June and July. I probably didn't need mine for April / May. Take a sleeping sheet or silk liner which...

    I bought a poncho(ferrino though they had Altus), lightweight shirt and Brierley guide (lost mine just before leaving) at that store just downhill from the Pilgrim office in St Jean directioncompostelle.com and the prices and service were very reasonable.

    Charging IPhones or Kindles on the Camino

    Good advice I found that I rarely thought about my phone and I switched it off until I had wifi at night to check in at home. I left in my Australian SIM card to discourage me from using it unnecessarily (cost). The power packs are great and I will use one this time and leave the phone safely...

    Anyone tried toe socks?

    injini+smartwool = no blisters for me but only for St Jean to Burgos. I think staying dry is also important. They are a little bit difficult to put on at times is the only drawback 8)

I would really love not to use a phone or Internet for that time if possible. Not being concerned about finding a...
