Have any Pilgrims encountered Twelve Tribes members on the Camino routes? Twelve Tribes is an American based religious movement. News accounts in the American media suggest Twelve Tribes is a cult with controversial practices. I have encountered American long distance hikers who met Twelve Tribes members at two locations on the Appalachian trail. This organization is interested in recruiting people. I do not suggest that members of this organization are dangerous but are looking for recruits.
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

This thread was locked because we aren't looking for a debate on the mission, lifestyle, or beliefs of the Twelve Tribes, but I think that this article is good for some background about the group, should anyone be interested in staying with them.

The Twelve Tribes / Yellow Deli: Hiker Haven, Creepy Cult, or Both? - The Trek

I arrived at Bears Den Lodge, just past the 1,000-mile mark on the Appalachian Trail, at high noon on July 2, 2016, a pleasantly warm, sunny day. To my dismay, I found that I would not be able to pick up the box I’d mailed to the hostel until 5 p.m. Grumpy about missing out on the perfect hiking...
