Hi,
I'm thinking it may be best to keep my bank cards, credencial and passport hidden away on my body, and not packed in my rucksack?
Is this the type of thing people use?

I'm guessing I would keep money in a money belt too?
Sorry, I have so many questions!

Have a couple of sources of funds, carry some cash, keep anything you cannot easily replace as close to skin as you can at all times. Be sensible, but don’t be paranoid. A phone, passport and credit card never leave my sight - waterproof products are available.
Assuming you're wearing pants with multiple pockets with velcro. In zip lock bags, Pocket 1 has pilgrim passport, daily cash and real passport. Pocket 2 has cell phone, Pocket 3 has your stash of cash. Some where else and pinned inside a pocket is copy of passport and your credit cards. Every morning as you leave the alburgue you do the pilgrim sign of the cross, you tap each pocket to make sure everything is in place.Hi,

Always take extra precautions in large metro areas especially in crowded conditions like subways, buses, etc. Wrap plastic bag, wallet, money clip with large rubber band which creates extra friction.I would suggest you never trust valuables in a zip pocket; whether it be pants pocket or jacket. I lost my wallet on the underground in Madrid. The plastic bag makes it all the easier to remove from your pocket.
it is unfortunate we need to worry about this on the Camino
Buen Camino

That is good to know trecile. I have got one of these bags but thought it might be to heavy for the camino.I use a small crossbody bag for my passport, money etc. I used this bag for two Caminos and it's great. It has locking zippers and slash proof fabric and straps.
That little bag only weighs about 6 ounces. I don't include it in my pack weight because it's never in my pack.That is good to know trecile. I have got one of these bags but thought it might be to heavy for the camino.
