      Joynz replied to the thread Plastic Storage Bins in Santiago???.
      The plastic box is overkill. Purchase a pack transport cover (Decathalon sell them) or transport inside a stripey polypropylene bag - I don’t use tape - I just zip it shut and padlock the zip to the small fabric loop near the top of the zip...

      I just use one of these... and plenty of packing tape around and around... purchased from the above mentioned stores! Never had a problem with damage.

      Joynz reacted to timr's post in the thread Right quad pain, ok to push through or something to be worried about? with Like Like.
      Exactly as @Peterexpatkiwi says. As you have come to the point where you realise you need help, you should seek professional help. Now. A pharmacy will be able to direct you to a clinic or a physio. It continues to baffle me (as a physician)...

      Joynz reacted to dick bird's post in the thread Pork in Spain with Like Like.
      this is a pig farm. It is the kind of place most pork and ham in Spain comes from. I saw dozens of these places today and there must be thousands all over Spain. Walking about 5000km of Camino I must have a few hundred but only 3 or 4 times have...

      Joynz reacted to Bedspring's post in the thread Pork in Spain with Like Like.
      Is that the case in places catering to budget travellers trying get meals out at fixed prices, I always thought that somewhere in Spain there would be huge air conditioned sheds mass producing pork for the catering trade and supermarkets. I...

      Joynz replied to the thread Advice sought for wounds on feet from walking.
      As others have said, consider your shoes. Are they long enough and wide enough? I highly recommend injinji synthetic liner toe socks underneath wool mix hiking socks (in roomy shoes - I wear hiking shoes that are 2-21/2 sizes bigger than my...

      The OP's friend's very unfortunate experience to the contrary (sorry for them @Bob P!), this is is probability far more of a risk.

      Joynz replied to the thread How to get the soap residue out of socks.
      Do they still have ‘stretch’ in them or have they thickened as well as become almost impossible to stretch width-ways? Do they soften up on wearing? They may have ‘felted’. This happens to my socks if I use water that’s more than lukewarm - or...

      Joynz replied to the thread Zubiri hazardous path.
      That section was fine in early April 2023 - in dry weather. One needed to check feet placement at times, but nothing too bad - just a short section of rough, rocky trail with some ruts. But I’m an experienced back country hiker. If your...

      Joynz reacted to AR1965's post in the thread Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! with Like Like.
      A decent night's sleep is a completely reasonable expectation. Suggesting is not the same as demanding. You are attempting to discredit that point by taking it to its ridiculous extreme. When someone is awoken by loud snoring, that doesn't...
