I don’t like to delete posts and I don’t like to close threads, but when we get to the point that a few members are dug into a debate about snorers, I think it’s time to close. This is a topic that will never ever be resolved, so you might as...
As I wrote earlier, I recently started keeping the map on my watch (a Garmin 645) all the time. It vibrates when there is a turn or an abrupt change in direction. This way, I can keep my phone in my pocket (and even in flight mode, once I start...
If you are really interested in having no communication and distractions without sacrifing safety, you can always opt for a GPS locator. It costs a little, but it frees you from the bondage of your phone.
Anyone you wants to can follow you on a...

Where did you took this nice picture??
However, it's a fact that dogs regularly run marathons and ultramarathons. I walked my labrador for days in a row at high altitude, no problems at all (water a part, once...) and he was super, superhappy...
That would have been my argument at one time but a dog is just a wolf in sheep's clothing (so to speak) and there's a wolf fitted with a GPS transmitter in Slovakia that has travelled over 2000km.
In a dozen Caminos I can only remember seeing two small dogs making the pilgrimage. The first was on the Camino del Norte. The cute very small dog was being carried in a bicycle-tire push or pull cart. Looked happy. The hospitalera of the...
About 3 weeks ago I posted a thread wondering if this was a crazy thing to do. I was full of self-doubt and anxiety, and fear of the unknown. The insights, wisdom, and recommendations from you all were exactly what I needed.
And now I’m in...
