    Macabi skirt - I'm taking the plunge

    Re-impregnate? Sounds interesting... like the skirts now have a very full life :) (more complex than mine own, to be sure LOL) seriously, how does one re-impregnate?

    Macabi skirt - I'm taking the plunge

    How do you wash and dry them? Mine accidentally went in the dryer and feels kinda of different... Or do you just shake and wear???

    Jacket or poncho??

    I learned from day one to "embrace the rain"! By force, of course. Rained hard as we left SJPDP that first day. As we set off, the Basque farmer who had housed me that night said with a twinkle, or maybe not, that the worst sinners begin their Camino in the rain. Hmmm. (Was it me that caused...

    Making a Brew - should I Bother?

    Robo I think if havin a hot brew is something you like, you should do it, (it ain't heavy, it's my brew kit). Carrying things you love that mean something is different than carrying stuff you don't really need or can do without. Only you can decide what that looks like. Personally I think it...

    Blundstone boots...

    My 2cents worth: Can't say enough about these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0079KAVN0/?tag=casaivar02-20 Just an incredible shoe for the camino. Great tread for traction, lightweight, laces you can tighten with your heel tamped down for walking down mountains. I love love love them. I showed up...

    Down v synthetic bag?

    LOVED my 1.3 pound down bag from Moosejaw. wrapped it in the bottom of my back in a couple plastic bags, and had a rain cover over my backpack on drenchers. had absolutely no problems. soooo light, so warm, so easy to shake bed bugs out of LOL :)

    I guess we newbies need to listen..lol

    I remember talking to fellow pilgrim who had a too heavy pack and knees becoming incapacitated. She said she was really really tired of carrying all the weight. Turned out she had probably ten or twelve pounds of toiletries. I showed her my one small bar of shampoo soap..i have thick, longish...
