Traditional German Gear

How to avoid failure "be prepared"
Camino Ready, Backpacks, Boots etc
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Ehm, as a German I can reassure you that that is not what "we Germans" wear traditionally. It looks actually more Bavarian to me and seems to be a mixture of several Bavarian outfits. The "backpack" looks like something a peddler/trader in the Bavarian forest/mountain would have been used in the past, for example 18th century. Also short "Lederhosen" for adults are a recent development, no self respecting man would have worn shorts in the past (~ pre-1960) as shorts where something only kids wore and you were proud to have reached the "long trousers" age. As for the bare upper body - nops, also not done in the past and also not recommended today.

Nevertheless, great photo! Buen Camino, SY

The Camino and maybe not quite 'getting it'?

There was a recent thread about EST (Erhard Seminars Training) which I have to say I have never hear of, but it got me thinking. I undertook some rather 'left field' training about 10 years ago...
