    Is this Camino clothing heresy?

    I probably would try to avoid walking with you when others were around, David... ;)

    Help! Pack too heavy! — CF Sept & Oct — Senior Woman

    A bit of a summary of suggestions: The 10% thing is simply something someone came up with as an opinion long ago and it is now quoted as a RULE. ;) . It is a good place to start. But simple logic will tell you that a small woman will have an impossible time using it. The only important thing...

    Optimizing Pack Weight: Layering Tips for Camino in August-September

    I also use the Patagonia down puffer jacket after using several different one over the years. The lightweight plus comfort received is a great balance. I have also found that it is fine to sleep in on colder nights…thus I no longer take a sleeping bag..just a silk sleep liner. A great weight...

    Optimizing Pack Weight: Layering Tips for Camino in August-September

    This is a refreshing thread. Concern about how to minimize the weight of the pack you will be carrying is a great change from the overwhelming number of posts worrying about “luggage” transfer.

    When It Rains It Pours?

    I walked from LePuy and experienced about 30 days of rain from LePuy to SJPP....then both sunshine and freezing rain over the pass to Roncevalles. Another time on the Frances we did not get a day of rain from SJPP to Santiago. Yet another time (Jan & Feb) we had wind and rain for many days in...

    Ikea Poncho

    I am looking for an Ikea Poncho...not available from Ikea or the manufacturer (Knalla) any longer. These were perfect for me and I seem to have lost both of mine somewhere. Let me know if you have one you are not using and would like to sell it. Thanks

    For Sale/Wanted Wanted: Costco down quilt

    The Costco Down Quilt has not been offered for quite a while and I would like to locate one (or 2). Does anyone have one (or 2) laying around that they do not need?

    Where can I change to the Spanish Sim Card on CF?

    A Spanish SIM can be purchased at any phone store in Spain. Keep in mind that SJPP is in France and it may be better to wait until Pamplona to purchase a card. You will likely not need it until Spain. It is very simple to purchase and install. You may want to google installing a SIM card in...

    Women's Gregory Jade 28 pack -what do you think?

    My wife, Ellie, has been using a Gregory Jade 28l pack since 2009. I think it is probably time to retire it..but she will not hear of it. Her comfort level with the pack is solid. I have gone through 4 packs in that same period.

    Question about power banks

    One thing to keep in mind for those who are watching this excellent thread and thinking about adding a power bank to your kit. Some of the units are pretty heavy..usually the more powerful is heavier. It may be good to do a bit of research and only get the lightest unit that suits your needs as...

    Pacerpoles for people with diminished core/upper-body strength?

    My wife, Ellie, has used Pacer Poles for years. We originally bought a used pair from Annie Santiago (on the forum) many years ago. She walked with them for one Camino then resold them and ordered a lighter carbon set. She has now walked many caminos with Pacer Poles and would not want to...

    The great thing about the discussion is that @Kanga’s post was last made on April 8 2017.....@ken2116 replied on April 9, 2020 (3 years later 😁) and the discussion just continues 👍
