    Which clothes/garments to wear during /buy for the Camino?

    I'm a big fan of Icebreaker - tank tops, light 150 weight long sleeve, socks and I even have the shorts and one dress. You can wear the dress out at night and go straight to bed in it. Icebreaker can be worn multiple times before it needs to be washed (doesn't smell), dries quickly and holds up...

    Top tips and gentle reminders

    Totally second this - had heat stroke when I pushed too far one leg and the crazy, new to the Camino (around Sarria) peregrine family that was leaving early the next morning were completely unorganized and disruptive! The guy above me woke very early and I only heard him get down from the bunk...

    Insoles for boots

    LOVE the birkenstock half insert! Cost $50 Canadian and turn any shoe into a birkenstock shoe - only thing that feels good when I have planter fascitis

    Hank's Camino Packing List (ultralight: under 5 kg / 10 lbs)

    As for shampoo leaves yes I'm hoping that I don't ruin the container either but do have backup samples to use as well

    Hank's Camino Packing List (ultralight: under 5 kg / 10 lbs)

    THANKS and Yes - so will I - the double hiking foot wear is my only concern but since I'm in Paris for 3 days and post in Barcelona I wasn't sure how not to pack runners and hiking shoes - plus my feet are so wide and hard to fit I can't just buy a pair along route if something happens.

    Hank's Camino Packing List (ultralight: under 5 kg / 10 lbs)

    So I finally got my packing video posted. This one is geared towards women and on my blog I list in detail the items that I am taking. Again what you pack is personal but I feel like I have gained so much valuable information from this forum and others as well as from research and seminars, that...

    Hank's Camino Packing List (ultralight: under 5 kg / 10 lbs)

    LOL - I only wear pretty much sports bras as find them much more comfortable - then again I'm only an A cup and need no support

    Over-packer in denial: another packing list - leaving this week

    yes but I will be wearing one outfit from this list and I'm in Paris for three days before I leave. If i find I'm not needing clothes I will send ahead and depending on weather reports I may drop a few items but heading out end of May and then all June and part of July the weather is bound to go...

    Over-packer in denial: another packing list - leaving this week

    Wow I thought my 36L Osprey pack was on large size but 65 L that seems crazy - to each his own though as its your journey.

    Over-packer in denial: another packing list - leaving this week

    Sorry Guys this part of post NOT for you. For women out there that need feminine protection my huge recommendation is to use the Diva Cup - its silicon, light weight and easily packed in its own draw string material case and is environmentally friendly! They are easily washed I also take a...

    Rain gear in June?

    Thanks for this post. I too was wondering if I only need a rain coat or would more gear be advisable. I start May 31 and walking all June. Perhaps our paths will cross?

    Hank's Camino Packing List (ultralight: under 5 kg / 10 lbs)

    Icebreaker and smart wool seem to be best and for women you can buy sports bras as base layer in both brands - I'm a bit sensitive to wool but seem ok with Icebreaker. The typical lycra sports bras will get sweaty and stinky pretty quickly - they are work-out wear and need to be thrown in wash...
