    Am I packing too much?

    Another possibility with cotton gloves is to find a pair of latex/rubber gloves to wear over top the cotton. Not breathable but hey, I'd rather be warm than cold.

    My Packing List: What worked for me on my April-May 2018 Camino

    My own personal advice for new Camino hikers is (having spent 45 days walking Camino Francis): bring hiking poles {mine were heavier than many others I saw -- made for a nicer workout for my arms}. I believe that I saved my knees and body because of them (I had two poles whereas I saw many...
