      TheRealPixie replied to the thread Review Clothing Management.
      Reminds me of a Days We Spend video I saw (the guy only carries a large waist pack) and the two of them were in super cold rain in shorts because they pack so light they didn't have warmer clothing. They then cut their trip short. And these are...

      TheRealPixie replied to the thread Crampons in Carry-on.
      Oh I know. I figured you already had some since you are asking about bringing them. I already own trekking poles but I'm not bothering to bring them because it is worth $30 to me to just get them at Decathlon and not checking them. I also get to...

      Yep, I do a 20k hike/walk every Sunday before breakfast and if there’s any precip I always use it. So much in fact one of the “regulars” on the trail asked me where my umbrella was when it was only misty and I didn’t have it out…

      I need more details. How did you get pickpocketed from a waist pack? Were you wearing it on the front? Did you get distracted? What happened?

      Waiting to hear where you are going to use these. But an alternate to bringing them on a plane would be to buy at your destination, budget allowing. Decathlon sells some for 20 euro. Sometimes convenience has its own value.

      TheRealPixie replied to the thread Hotel Burguete.
      Oh my. Sorry to hear this. I will be staying there in a couple of weeks. I will be sure to message them a few days before and day-of to let them know I am really coming. I too am in my 50's and will likely be dead on my feet when I arrive. I do...

      Works in the PNW? Wow. Cause when we get "real" rain, it is often way too windy to use an umbrella.

      If you are using it for sun, black blocks more rays. "According to a U.S. study published in JAMA Dermatology, any fully-functioning handheld umbrella can block more than three-quarters of ultraviolet (UV) light on a sunny day,” says a Reuters...

      TheRealPixie reacted to Peterexpatkiwi's post in the thread a longer and slower day with Like Like.
      I'm still just a youngster (60) but I've done a few longer days at times, on the Primitivo in July last year I had no issues walking into a municipal at 5:30/6.00 p.m. and getting a bed. I quite like walking later because there are far less (if...
