Way Backpack Maurizio

Before or after each pilgrim raises the big question: what port and how to weigh the backpack?

The answer is simple: as little as possible, having brought the essential, that is what you really will.

Here opens a world of possibilities and discussions. The material that you have to put in your backpack is always dependent on a single pilgrim, its ability to adapt, its tolerance to unexpected situations, from his fear of forgetting something essential, not by his fears of what this can do without that.

There is no perfect list which is suitable for all pilgrims. The advice I can give you my list of material with relative weights (in grams) and tell you all that I brought and I used that in a possible upcoming pilgrimage, in the same season, I do not know what to remove if not of the small details.

period in which there was the pilgrimage from 30 August to 1 October 2010.

In the two columns that I have seen the clothes you wear and the material along the way and therefore do not weigh on his shoulders, and these weights have them deducted from the totals.

certainly left home the vocabulary, I used only 1 time.

The bottle is not needed, 2 or 3 bottles are sufficient plastic half-liter, are more practical, the weight is distributed better, you can keep more on hand in the pockets of external mesh backpack (important detail because you can stand without taking the backpack from his shoulders). There are many fountains of water supplies, apart from some stage on Mesetas. Do not forget to keep the water on the right side of the backpack, because walking west with the sun beats down almost always on the left side and the water is cooler. With my backpack that I used the material (45 L + 10) was almost as large, the extension clearly have never used.

as a pillow to sleep, I prepared a light and small zippered pillowcase and I brought a piece of foam (one week after I threw it away) and then I thought to fill it with clothing appropriate for the night. In almost all Albergue there are pillows and pillow alone is enough (unless you have to sleep on the mat on the floor due to overcrowding).

I used as a cleaning agent for virtually all cleaning Soap Marseille, like bubble bath, shampoo how to shave and laundry. I found myself very well and the weight is greatly reduced.

A very interesting and relevant article on the topic I found on the internet: I wanted to share it with you. Click here.

protect our feet

The first attention should be given at the foot surely, our means of locomotion.

The first choice is the type of shoe to wear. along the "Way" I saw people walking with all types of footwear. The only type of pilgrim who have not seen it barefoot pilgrims. The choice is very personal and subjective. I have always walked with the light trekking s carponcini because I feel more safe and secure with the ankle firmly. My choice fell on the shoes with shock-absorbing system, which did breathe a little 'feet, strong and light enough.

I've bought a few months before the scheduled departure time and I have well-established with then the type of socks that I used for the journey. I was advised by my friend Pauline, whom I thank for his excellent advice, to anoint his feet in the evening and the morning before walking. I I used a mixture of lavender foot cream (pleasant aroma) and vaseline cream (nice greasy). I started this treatment when I was training at home and then I continued every day throughout the journey.

Before leaving I was a pedicure for me to fix some small nails and calluses. The result of this combination of treatments has been nothing short of amazing: absolutely no problem with blisters despite the eight hundred and passes mileage!

If you do not start saving on equipment from shoes that are good and comfortable, your feet will thank you and give you endless satisfaction lead to where you want it! My feet have done precisely that, if I was a bit 'less' gummed his back "I would have kissed (after being well washed of course) .

Throughout the walk we saw standing by to shudder, blisters and sores from fear and "walk" that made you understand how pilgrim that he was suffering for his feet.

ll my friend Raffaele he walked with the shoes "tested in Verona." He had a small blister on the third day. On the fourth day, after dressing, she walked with sandals. Score another blister on the same foot in a different location. After being persuaded to return to walking with the boots has anointed my feet with Vaseline in the morning even before you start walking (he anointed his feet only at night) . Score: blisters healed by the two came to Santiago without any other problem.

You spend rivers of words and articles on how to treat blisters while we never hear about how to prevent : Make the most of this advice by anointing his feet with Vaseline ointment. This has been our personal experience, then everyone will believe what they see fit.

Suseya!
