Thanks, you answered my questions about the drone.

❤, New subscriber, I hike in a skirt and use Alpaca or merino wool underwear and base layer and socks. I love your hiking shirt and will be looking into getting it and the matador soap bag and the pee rag. Thank you for sharing your unique list. Blessing

¿ 12 Caminos ??? ¡¡ Amazing !! no doubt you both are great. Thanks a lot for the tips.

Sea to Summit has a more conventional silnylon poncho.

i looked into the Jolly Gear shirts when i saw Lainey's running vest packing video...i love them 🙂

Loved this. 12 litres!!!!!!!! Amazing!!!

Man, I’m so glad I have a pair of iPod pros and got rid of the cords quite a while back! I’m getting the Scotty vest with the magnetic removable sleeves. The vest that I’m getting even though it has sleeves and it’s technically a coat has a vented back. It’s for tropical climate basically. I’m going to be flying a lot of south east Asian countries. I’m going to cheat them out of every dime that I can when it comes to baggage fees. Cheap Charley here! Thanks for the great review

Lainey, I’ve watched all of your videos and wore/carried all of your past suggestions for my September Camino Português. Everything was perfect! I’m curious how you buy your gear. I live in Portugal and only return to the US once a year. I want that Jolly Gear shirt, but how did you get it in Spain? Shipping from US to Portugal is practically impossible and customs can be anything, even 300% value. I love both you and Shawn! You are happiness on demand!

Another great video/adventure. We’re just catching-up on what we missed. Just got back from a couple of weeks in the UK. Looks like we missed a lot. We’re now planning our 20th( give or take a couple) trip to Spain. This year, we’re finally gonna make it to Galicia. Probably spend 2 or 3 weeks in March. Keep up the great work.

Gracias por estos videos. Ustedes son muy divertidos y contagian la alegría. Me gustaría hacerles una pregunta: todas sus cosas las llevan ustedes o usaron transporte de equipaje? Quiero hacer el camino de Madrid y todos los detalles me interesan😘😘

First video I have seen of yours, very much enjoyed it! You thoroughly thought everything through! Great job!

I am seriously impressed!!!!!!

You guys are great! I am interested in doing the Mardrid...just seems a bit baron and sketchy after Segovia. I prefer the quieter ones but this may be a bit too much. Have done a bunch of Camino (never the Frances with exception of a few days)..Aragones, Salvador, Invierno, Sanabras...so the emptiness appeals to me but not ringing revues on the albergues. My days of 30km are getting a bit tough for these old bones too. Anyway...love your work and the information provided. Keep going!

Amazing video! As an older guy who’d love to do a Camino someday I love the ultralight approach. I figure it might make it doable. I also have a high metabolism so I don’t need as warm clothes as most do. Some great ideas here! Your husbands waist pack gear plan is cool too!

This brought me back, as I spent nearly a month exploring Galicia a few years ago. Such a magical place, with awe inspiring views and amazing people. I had hoped to see a reaction to Castro de Barona, which was a fave of ours. But you brought me places I hadn't yet seen, to add to my list for next visit.

We bought our ScotteVest at poshmark for $50 depends on the size. It’s a secondhand but slightly used. Me and my hubby loved it because it’s so useful for our travels.

You Guys are very inspiring! My husband and i are planning to move to Spain sometime next year in October- November. I watched your video about getting NL visa in LA consular. I appreciate for sharing it with the detail.

I’m Lainey, and I’m Shawn….and we’re both certifiably bonkers!!! Don’t ever change, guys. Got my first Camino coming up. Maybe one day I can buy you both a coffee and teach you how to say route properly (says the typical Brit) 🤣🤣🤣 Keep on having fun folks. 👍🏻👏

is Shawn secretly Joe lycett? if you read this and dont know who that is look him up, he may be shawns brother.

Do you ever lead groups?

Good stuff. Ultralight is the way i like to go.

I love this episode. Birthday kisses.

Amazing! I am giving my daily use 'handbag' rucksack the side eye . . .

Thank you!!! This was so very informative and helpful!

OMG

What a pointless video.

Lol can put a SBR in that laptop bag.

Love this, well done. One thing I always have used for over 10 years now is one cake of soap. Here in Oz we have a soap called Velvet Soap. I use it for washing me, my hair and my clothes. Oh yes and a big thanks for the product Shawn mentioned a while ago the Matador soap pouch. Worked brilliantly on the via Podiensis I just finished. Thanks again for your inspiration.

Your videos get better and better. You were a very big motivator for us to walk a part of the Frances route in April-May of this year. It would not have happened if not for your smiling faces and happy go lucky attitude to be the spark that got us going. Thank you and keep it up.

Very useful. And interesting. Thank you!

Can you make a video on the knee exercises you do? Did going to zero-drop shoes help?

I tried the same Mountain Hardware pants before and I love how they fit so well for petite individuals. However, I ended up not keep them because of the pilling I had on my other MH pants. I found the company's polyester always pills, and rather stick with nylon when it comes to pants. How is your pant holding up from the 14 days?

Where do you fit the drone and the controller in your bag?

Oh, I've been waiting for this video! And I ❤ it. Not sure if I'll ever use it, but what a great challenge. Well done on packing so light ... you've just proven it can be done!

I was on the lookout for this one ☺I actually have used a running vest for 100mile ultra trail runs/walks but ofcourse a multi day camino is another thing 🙂 This was very interesting, Lainey...thanks a lot...i will be doing my camino next month in a smaller pack Ooh, i did agree with Shawn 😁

I have walked 9 caminos and have still not walked in June, July and August. The earliest in January and latest in November. But you never know what you get. In April 2016 I crossed the pyrenees from St jean in cold rain that turned into a snowstorm. When I arrived in Roncevalles I was number 6 that had arrived I was told that both routes over the pyrenees had be closed two hours earlier and emergency services were out now to pick up pilgrims. I moved on to Burguete and next morning woke up to a foot of snow everywhere. I chose to go all in and walked all the way to pamplona where I arrived late afternoon in 25 degrees celsius beautiful sunshine. No rain or snow on the rest of the camino.

Ha ha ha cheers! What a fun video :))

Thank you for all the great content and links, we will use for us, and you. Will your husband be doing a video for me too, LOL!!!? We're doing a cruise to Europe next April and probably be starting with a Via Francigene hike in Italy. We appreciate you!

I am with Lainey on the micro towel. I have been using one for years. I like the beaner idea for hanging the pack. I will have to check out running vest packs. I have been using a Golite Jam Pack, but the biggest drawback is not having the water up front. Dry bags are another great idea. I usually go with breathable mesh or nylon stuff sacks and a pack cover, but the dry bags could eliminate the need for a pack cover. Another great video!

Pronunciation tips: Unlike in Spanish, the G in Basque always sounds the same (like the G in "guest"), so Egia and okindegia use that G. In Spanish you need a U to make that sound as in GUE and GUI (the U is silent). But if the U has two dots (Ü) then the U is Not silent (as in Sagüés, the U is pronounced).

Hi, nice video! Did you not bring any shoes for the albergues?

I used the Altra Lone peaks for my Camiño in September/October. Great shoe, my only issue was some parts of the trail were so rocky and my feet took a beating. I changed insoles 2 weeks in and it helped for the remainder of the pilgrimage.

Thanks Lainey (and your off-screen auditor 🙂) If you’re not sure, you can bring a small bag, and get it transported forward to the major towns/your chosen rest day locations only, and to a re-think/re-pack there, before forwarding the left over stuff in the small bag to Santiago or your next rest stop (depending how you feel)

I love these type of videos! I would never go THIS small and lightweight, I enjoy the comfort some items give me too much for that. But it makes me rethink what I really need on a hike and what I can live without. Thank you for that!

Always entertaining....llama_ladee-anny

Thank you for this detailed video, as always. You got me thinking so hard about getting the Uswe bag, but I'm afraid of the front not being comfortable enough for girls. I will continue my search for a light pack suitable for women! Please, do keep sharing your adventures, it brings me so much knowledge and joy!

I used an 18L vest on my last Camino… 12L is amazing!

Ps . . . The plastic gloves you use are also perfect to make waterproof gloves., Combine a sock and the plastic glove for cold wet days 😊

@DaysWeSpend Lainey, what size salomon active did you go with? I’m normally a small to medium ish, some reviews have it running on the small side. Just trying to guage. Do you feel it fit true-to-size? Thanks!

Thank you guys we submitted our application 🎉
