    Sleeping in a dorm room where there's someone with a CPAP

    I am happy that so many people have written to reassure you. I have a small travel CPAP and I've used it on all my Caminos since 2014. It has a small backup battery for those nights where I can't get near a power outlet. In all the years I've only had one complaint and that was the night I...

    Camino First Aid - Free from APOC

    I have also removed the pdf from my blog, although I still have it and find it a useful resource. The original came with very emphatic disclaimers to "talk to your doctor" before, during and after your camino about any personal health problems. The book can't replace your doctor. Perhaps one...

    Camino First Aid - Free from APOC

    Without knowing of your link I did exactly the same. It is shared from my dropbox account and I put the link on my camino blog. This is such a blessing! Thank you to Tom and Em. By the way, I love this quote from the book: "But you’re a pilgrim, darn it. And pilgrims walk. Frankly, we’re used...

    Snoring and Snorers

    Hi Emonty. I've got the Transcend with a battery. It does need charging of course, but it it gives a bit of extra peace of mind if there isn't an outlet, or if there is "no room at the inn" and we have to kip in a church hall somewhere.

    Major cause of blisters and other foot ailments

    Feet are so different! Years ago I tried Scarpas and they were fantastic quality, but the moment I started wearing a pack and going longer distances I discovered they were too narrow for my feet. I then went back for a proper fitting and got Meindls. They are just right for my wide feet. I'd go...

    Snoring and Snorers

    Hi DeadFred I've checked the weight of the Transcend Ezex travel system I just bought. It comes with a handy padded carry case, and with the CPAP machine, the P4 single night battery, charger, hose and my own Resmed Swift LT nasal pillows, all packed up the total weight is 1305 gram or 2Ib 14...

    Snoring and Snorers

    Hi Bumblebee, I just got a Transcend CPAP with battery for the Camino. It is very lightweight, small and quiet, only 29 dB.

    CPAP on the Camino

    Just ordered the Transcend starter kit with the small battery pack. I hope to report back when I've given it a test run. Can't wait to be (relatively) free of electric outlets again.

    CPAP on the Camino

    Hi w cleveland It's great that the dental appliance worked for you. I'm stuck with the CPAP. However, at least these mini travel machines with the batteries will reduce weight and reliance on the plug every night. In the UK the National Health Service will give you a standard CPAP but for the...

    CPAP on the Camino

    Hi docbb. How did the Transcend II work out on the Camino? And would the Transcend work as your everyday CPAP? Have you had a look at the new Z1? See this link - http://hdmusa.com/the-z1/ Sorry about the many questions - I'm planning my first Camino in late April this year.
