Yes, PacSafe bags are very well-made and secure with wire running through the belt. I have a waist bag that goes everywhere with me.I used a PacSafe neck wallet except I wore it crossbody. During the day I would tighten it up so it would lay on my chest or stomach and in the evening I would loosen it so it was more like a crossbody bag. I then slept with this in my sleeping bag.
I use a money belt--since its flat, it goes under my waistband of my pants. I carry cash, credit cards, passport and a list of emergency numbers in it. (Call your credit card holder before you go on your trip). Just keep out a small amount of cash for incidentals you might need during a stop along the way for a snack or meal.One month to go on my first camino. I"m excited, nervous, obsessing ...a little....
Ladies, I am trying to figure a simple system for daily cash needs and less frequent needs access passport credit cards, etc.
I have a credit card and passport
Wallet with rfid blocking. Not sure if it's the best option. I can put it in a hip pack...but don't want to be too obvious .
I am thinking of a money belt for that and most cash, with something else for daily cash, but not sure what.
use the money belt and hippack, or...?
I'm concerned mostly about walking around in villages and cities. I only want to take out what I need to. I don't have pockets on my pants/shorts that are secure, so that's not an option.
Any experience and suggestions are appreciated .
Thank you, this was what I was thinking of doing.I carry passport, credit cards and large money in a money belt under my pants. A waist pack carries my phone, camera, credencial, laminated copy of passport and daily money. Both stay with me always.
Does that Waist bag have more than one zip pocket? The pix I saw don't show the insideYes, PacSafe bags are very well-made and secure with wire running through the belt. I have a waist bag that goes everywhere with me.
Hi there, not sure what a hippack is but I used a small pack that went around my waist with the pack itself at the front. I went to bed dressed in the next day’s attire including my hip pack/pouch. It didnt disturb my sleep as I sleep side to side.One month to go on my first camino. I"m excited, nervous, obsessing ...a little....

Mine is an older model with two zip pockets. It is similar to the Metrosafe LS120. Good pix on the PacSafe.co.uk site.Does that Waist bag have more than one zip pocket? The pix I saw don't show the inside
I love the idea of a laminated copy of your passport!Thank you, this was what I was thinking of doing.
yeah, that worked for 95% of the time. There was one place that had a scannerI love the idea of a laminated copy of your passport!
I sewed a couple of old money belts onto my skirt and pants per your directions (on the blog) for my camino last summer. I kept my back up cards and cash there. Worked great.I keep my passport, credit cards, and big money in a moneybelt worn UNDER my clothes and next to my body.
Once a day I take out my daily allowance, usually €20, and put it in a change purse that I carry in my Macabi skirt zipped pocket.
I sleep with that moneybelt on.
I take a ziplock bag and carry that moneybelt into the shower with me.
