I have extra time on my hands today so I decided to start a new thread. I have already gained so many cool ideas and tips as I have read and researched blogs, youtube videos and surfed the internet. I am an absolute "newbie" at all of this and have not even done a camino yet...but am getting my gear together, studying my Spanish and training with my pack and weight now. I knew NOTHING of backpacks before deciding to do this trek. I am healthy but not really athletic, not really a camper nor even a hiker! The longest walk I ever took was 3 miles and I thought that was really something! HAH! I did not know what merino wool was or why it is important for something like this - or what kind of clothing was 'quik-dry'. I never even heard of a "hiking sandal" I have been learning everything from scratch and it has already been quite an adventure. I thought it might be interesting to find out what other's experiences were after having done a camino. What is your handiest packing "hack" and what was your most favorite item you brought on the camino? What say you pilgrims???
