    Packing cubes or dry sacks?

    I think Nekodemus has a typo. Should be Dutchwaregear.com. Dutch makes fabulous UL things for hammock hangers. (Typo is Durch...)

    Down throws at Costco are back

    I get claustrophobic legs also. I unstitched the bottom of my sleepsack and inserted a drawstring. I got a lightweight rectangular summer sleeping bag that can be unzipped into a flat cover.

    Good hiking hat

    Sorry, mod. My reply to you has disappeared. Hopefully draft was saved somewhere. I always donate to forums. I've just joined this one and intend to. Several months of sending boxes of food to relatives in Venezuela have put a serious dent in my finances. To everybody: This was an innocent...

    Good hiking hat

    Absolutely not. No affiliate anything. Just trying to show pictures and save people time searching. I am not good at computers at all. I don't know how to insert links. I might add that I have never before been publicly rebuked or made to feel unwelcome at any forum. A PM without sarcasm...

    Good hiking hat

    Ummmm. I thought that sharing of information was a good thing here. I know I appreciate information provided by others. Obviously, I have no vested/financial interest in any of the retailers mentioned.

    Good hiking hat

    I have three Sunday Afternoons hats with neck capes: A pretty purple one with a long, slightly ruffled neck cape, a beige one with a longish (7") neck cape (Adventure?) for kayaking, and an olive-y green one with (5") neck cape (Sport ?) that is great for hiking because you don't have a hat...

    Shorts/Undies

    The legs are short. For that I bought some turquoise men's (again!) tight, long (above the knee) underwear. Was going to wait until i located them before posting. Think I found green also. I got this idea from a guy who hikes in a kilt. Paid $12-15 in TJMAXX/Marshall's/Ross.

    Unisex nylon shorts

    I usually buy men's swim shorts for kayaking because they come with built-in mesh underwear. They're also good for hiking. I've started training with them. So far, I've tried a black Adidas pair of short shorts with lining and a black Puma board short length with no lining. I'm short so...

    Shorts/Undies

    While looking at someone's packing list, I (female) came across a link to men's undershorts with a zippered pocket for $30. They work great as unisex undies. I got a 4-pack (4 colors and a printed design) from Amazon for $17!! I ordered the XXXL (I wear women's XXL for tops etc) and was...

    Teva women's sandals

    I read umpteen Amazon reviews hoping to find someone mention that they'd been worn on the Camino. I bought a raspberry-colored pair in Marshall's for $25!!!!! They're a wee bit larger than I thought I needed but they feel so comfortable. Then I thought of socks or swollen feet. I know I'd...

    ** Last minute dilemma - electric coil or kindle?

    I'm one of those people who prefer paper books. That said, I have no problem reading kindle books on my iPhone 6+. I can also view news and other apps without wanting to scream. The larger screen is worth the giving up the compactness of other models.

    Smart Packing and Unexpected Backpack Items

    My thrilling finds are the Eagle Creek silnylon COMPRESSION packing cubes. $38 (Amazon) for a medium and a small. I was able to squish a fluffy/cozy fleece hoodie (with zippered pockets) in the small size! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BYFC2UG/?tag=casaivar02-20 AND Sea to Summit...

    The electric coil changed my life on the Camino!

    Speaking of hot lips and my titanium mug... Amazon (USA) sells a 2-pack of Snow Peak Hotlips that clip on/attach to most mugs. $7. Free shipping with order of $49+

    The electric coil changed my life on the Camino!

    Have an old coil somewhere. Will definitely get the dual voltage one. Very entertaining thread going back to 2013! Read the whole thing. I have titianium mug (Hot Lips concern), the larger pot, and the Vargo Triad titanium stove (1.6 oz!) that burns on alcohol or solid fuel tablets. I do...
