I haven't done the Camino. But if wearing sandals, make sure y'all use sunscreen. It's an important place to keep on top of and get your skin checked because it's easy to miss. Hola from Australia 🇦🇺

The only problem with a water bladder is you don't know its empty until it is. I would recommend a water bladder plus a small bottle. Only use the bottle when, and if, the bladder empties.

Enjoyed your videos and thanks for sharing! Do you wear socks with your Chacos? I have read that others do so to keep the straps from rubbing the same place on their feet. I love Chacos as well and plan to wear (only) them next year. Great job!

I’m very curious where you got your Mexican blanket? It looks a lot more lightweight and perfect for this use compared to some of the more popular Mexican blankets I’ve seen. I’d love to know where to find it maybe!

Stefanie, thank you for doing this. Most Camino packing checklists are pretty much the same. You have made a few very unique choices so people will realize there are options. Secondly your emphasis on earth friendly products is great. Absolutely agree with your opinion on Patagonia products. Excellent designs, ethical manufacturing and overall commitment to the planet is worth the extra cost. I have been a fan since the ‘80’s (I know I’m old) and have products that I have had for decades. Thank you for another great video.

Hi Stefanie, I finished walking the Camino Francés on 25 July (just over 4 weeks ago). I first thought of doing it on 1 June and left New Zealand on 16 June so I had little time to prepare. Amongst others I watched your videos and I want to say they were a big help. I only wore Keen Newport H2 sandals, no socks - fantastic. I have just decided to walk it again next year and leave a week or so later to catch the sunflowers in bloom, and am considering following your lead this time and wearing Chacos - were they as good on your 2nd Camino? I found the Keens superb although slightly too narrow for my feet (I often walk barefoot, and might walk parts of it barefoot next time). I love it. So … are you going to do another? Maybe the Primitivo or Portuguese?
I want to walk the Francés again because while I walked the whole way, I want to stay in different towns and albergues, learn some Spanish before I go so I can communicate with the locals better (which I loved doing despite the language barrier).
Take care, Alex

With your vlog camera, did you take lots of memory cards with it? What sort of file size had you accumulated by the end of the trip?

As far as the sandals, one question. I have been rucking since September '23 and went from boots to sneakers to sandals and found nothing is more comfortable than sandals. However, the one thing I noticed is that these little pebbles get kicked up by the back of the sandals and imbed themselves under my feet, and I walk over pavement, causing me to stop periodically and slip my sandal off to get them out. I cant imagine being barefoot, as I wear shorty socks, and this happening when walking a great amount of time over unpaved roads, like you do on the Camino. Are you able to just shake them out or do you have to stop and slip them off to get them out? BTW, very informative video, thanks for all the info.

I have lots of hair too. What did you do about a brush/shampoo/ conditioner? Thank you. Great video.
@meaningfulmakingsFor all the people out there in the market for micro-fiber towels: they are usually made from plastics, but there is light weight alternatives like cloth diapers or organic cotton travel towels from a brand called 'valleys & hills' (not sponsored, I just got one myself, but honestly also haven't tried it yet). Just wanted to say a more eco-friendly alternative exists. Since Stefanie cares about it too, I thought a few of you out there might care as well.
@vanessas9264I'm doing my first camino in a month and wondered how you went about using the electrolytes? Did you put it you water bladder? Love you videos and your beautiful spirit. Thanks, all the way from New Zealand
@melissalaurent4915The background music is so unnecessary.
@Sojourner1Helpful video. Thanks! May I suggest you think about removing the background music? It distracts from your message. Thanks for considering and Buen Camino!

@cindyh6017Thanks for taking the trouble of going through all your stuff for us - very useful! I know it was a while ago, but do you remember how much it all weighed, including the backpack?
@bronwenhook6088Love your videos. One of the best. Noticed an Oscar Wilde book on your bookcase. great fan myself.
