What not to take? And what to not forget?
When I did the Primitivo (late May, 2018), it rained about every other day. It was cloudy almost all the time. It was chilly or cold except for a few late afternoons. It’s not fun to walk in wet clothes so prepare for that. Also, when it rains, your clothes will NOT dry. It’s just too humid. I...- lovetoread3

Finding Orange at the Madrid Airport
Just a thought, did you confirm the hours on the Saturday for that Orange shop? Sometimes they close at the siesta and do not re-open on Saturday and some are closed on Sunday as well. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Buen camino :)- lovetoread3

Useful Items from the Dollarstore to take with ? On a budget
Regarding the slimy soap, I brought 2 small net bags with gathered tops into which I put the bar of soap after showering. I then hung the bag somewhere on the bunk using a carabiner to let it dry overnight. The hardest part is not forgetting it the next morning. My solution to that was to...- lovetoread3

An easy potty kit with some wet wipes or alcohol based hand cleaner, TP or Kleenex, small baggies or disposable gloves to scoop up nature's call, larger plastic bag in which to put all the disposable stuff when you find a trash can.

Shoe and Foot Strategies When Walking While It Is Raining and Wet
Thanks Davebugg. I hadn't thought about the extra pair of inserts but fortunately, I know right where I've stashed that extra pair and will now add it to my pack (guilt free about the extra few ounces).- lovetoread3

How long should a pair of shoes last?
Hmm. Disappointing to say the least that those shoes did not last and also your experience with REI. OTOH, I bought a pair of Salomon GTX shoes for my camino that begins in 2 weeks and will include the Frances and Primitivo. I got them in Jan on sale in Madrid. I've been wearing them since...- lovetoread3

Confused about clothes for April/May on Camino Frances
I'm wondering why you're not taking the poles for the Norte. It's pretty hilly. Can you explain what the problem was exactly with the backpack straps in the rain? Do the straps soak up the water, or slip or what exactly? Thanks.- lovetoread3
