Bothydave reacted to Grousedoctor's post in the thread Phone and GPS locator on the shoulder strap with
Like.
I’m a bit at a loss to think of too many if any times that I needed my phone or gps quickly while walking except to take photos. Even then, it was usually a quick retrieval from my pants pocket or the hip strap pouch on my Osprey (although I too... -
Bothydave reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Phone and GPS locator on the shoulder strap with Love.
My concern with attaching my phone to my backpack is that sometimes I walk away from my backpack. On Camino everything of value is on my person. The assortment of underwear, tins of tuna and my slightly whiffy sleeping bag in my backpack can...

I use pockets, usually available with trousers. Though I have noted that my Osprey has a stretchy mesh pocket built into the left hand shoulder strap I’d always imagined that that was for a packet of fags or one of those emergency sized...

Bothydave reacted to HBS60's post in the thread LIVE from the Camino Héctor Walks His Way with Like.
I made it to Orisson! Took me 6.5 hrs because we (me and lovely people I met on the way) took our time, rested frequently, but it was very hard and arduous. But I made it, so did they. More later. I need a well-deserved rest. Tonight I’ll sleep...
