    Equipment for Chubby Girls (perhaps an ongoing guide)

    Great post.... I was pretty sure i wasn’t the only short , chubby walker out there! I have the boobs to match the Ruebenesque figure which with my pack straps creates a nasty looking mono boob silhouette. I’m hoping the fashion police don’t make an appearance!

    Really cool app for making daily videos

    That looks awesome. It would be great for folks at home to track your walk.

    Women's Underwear

    I walked locally with " normal" underwear. It was hot...HOT after 20 km the tag had made a small hole in my back and the seam were the gusset is sown had rubbed raw. I can't stress the importance of trying out all of your clothing in all kids of weather if at all possible before you go. I...

    Women's Underwear

    I bought exofficio underwear. Seamless tagless, quick drying, antimicrobial and worth every penny!!! They dry out in 15 minutes. Great for breaks in walking. I found them to be completely worth the price. Ice breaker undies are great too. I just found that they didn't last a long time. Also...

    Stuff I was wrong about - And Trail Runners

    Merino wool has kind of barbs at the end of the strands of fibres. lower cost merino uses shorter ( and less expensive fibres). Top quality merino uses the longest fibres and has less - if any of those barbs that make some merino itchy. I bought a cheap one at Costco and can't stand it after...

    Help selecting Boots for our Walk.

    Thank you so much for your reply davebugg The detail and information and tone was great. I find the shoe wait to backpack weight fact totally shocking!

    Number of shoes to take (and underwear and other stuff...)

    Three is usually the number ( some only two) so you can wear one and wash one. Im taking two bras because when I get out of the shower after walking I don't want to put on a sweaty bra! Also you will have one on while the other is drying. Shoes..... hum. Ive been toying with that idea myself...

    Bras for " curvy " girls

    I know that with a giant pack on my back, exhausted ,sweaty, Meseta wind swept hair that quite frankly isn't as 'luxurious' as it once was....never mind practical footwear and a giant plastic poncho, old lady walking sticks ( boy have I changed my mind on those) that having one great big giant...

    Bras for " curvy " girls

    I would argue that for some the Camino is an athletic event....maybe the biggest one they have ever participated in! But not the topic.... I do not usually wear a quick dry bra- just a normal underwire with good support. I have been on a trying on binge at outdoor stores and the quick dry/...

    Bras for " curvy " girls

    Lots of talk about ice breaker, exofficio. All great but appear to be for those ladies for whom a good bra is not a requirement like oxygen. Any D / DD ladies with good quick drying supportive bra options?

    Poncho vs "rain suit" in May/June?

    The Ponchos with the hump on the back for your pack can be bought on Amazon and at most outdoor gear stores. A great alternative to the rain suit/poncho debate is poncho ( with the hump) that snaps up or zips up like a jacket. It is longer so your legs are covered and doesn't flap around in...

    Sleeping Bags

    Saw this bag on Amazon " Nature Hike" mini ultralight with a compression sack. $ 22 bucks. decent reviews on you tube. 700 grams, Nylon outer / Cotton lining. 190 cm x 75 cm. rectangle shape. Temperature rated for summer. Cant beat the price. Any one tried it?

    Sleeping Bags

    Me too! I realize that it is a personal choice based on how warm you like to sleep but those ultralight sleeping bags are pretty pricey!
