Getwood replied to the thread Camino phone SIM.The Holafly website allows you to specify the exact number of days you're traveling, and offers regional plans (e.g., Europe-wide). I just checked and as of today, you can get (for example) 40 days unlimited Internet (so they claim) for €79.00... -
Getwood replied to the thread Merino Wool Shirt Sheep Smell.Yep, but abusing the fabric is almost unavoidable -- your shoulders (for example) will constantly be compressed under your pack's shoulder straps, and the fabric trapped under your hip-belt will be abraded as well.

It's one of the reasons that most modern fibre formulations of merino feature a central core of a tougher material (nylon, usually) completely wrapped by finer filaments of merino.

Getwood replied to the thread Public bathrooms in SdC.^^THIS. I'm doing something similar, and actually hoping to stay two nights.

Getwood replied to the thread Public bathrooms in SdC.Military personnel in remote locations often use some form of wet wipes, which can be bought all over the place. Like having an old-fashioned sponge bath, but disposable.

Getwood replied to the thread And now to the backpack...I was leaning towards using an Osprey Stratos 36 (so much so that I found one for a very good price on Amazon and bought it), but I went to a local store with a good rep and after some serious fitting time during which the Osprey was found to be...
