Yes you can, my wife bought two bags last year . Now we have a lifetime supply of baby safety pins.Most definately a not-to-be- forgotten item! Get the old fashioned babies ones if you can still find them.
Couldn't find them in any of the stores. Disposable diapers s rules I guess. Had to order them on Amazon.Get the old fashioned babies ones if you can still find them.
Extra pair of shoe laces double as a clothes line too. We always say every item we take has to have at least two uses....well most of the stuff.
I like this idea. Less weight than my rubber line.
Hmmm... now you have me thinking...
What size safety pins work best?Experienced pilgrims know the value of a few safety pins.
Some new pilgrims have yet to learn.
How often have you seen teeshirts or socks blown off the clothes lines.
I suggest that this year we all bring some extra pins. They cost very little and weigh almost nothing and yet will enrich the camino of those you give them to.
When you see something on the ground for lack of a pin , hang it up and pin it.
The new pilgrim will be delighted and realise it is a gift from someone else.
Its a win win situation all around.
Buen Camino to you all
Good point, I didn't think of that! I normally check in my bag, but I took it last time as hand luggage (through Barcelona and Madrid) and no one noticed the pins. I'll think twice about that next time.But ok to take them in your handluggage? Does security not confiscate it? Because I remember that when I took some very small individual sterile needles with me they were taken away. Same sharpness I think?
