    Good book on the basics, A little helpful on my walk.
  

*by R***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 1, 2015*

This is a short, useful book with the occasional clever line or interesting anecdote to help you start preparing for your pilgrimage. Though the information could be found in forums or blogs, here it is gathered together for an easy read. A lot of the information is basic preparation for people who have never done or researched a long-distance hike before. If this is you, this book is for you, just don't buy the paperback like I did. Buy the cheaper kindle version.I do have one problem with the suggestions in this book. I have not hiked The Way before, but I disagree with the author's recommendation for footwear. Hiking boots are heavy! There are many who believe that the support that they provide actually increase the chance of injury from a fall because they restrict natural movement. Also, waterproof shoes never stay dry. They hold in water and sweat, then take forever to dry. This is why people who thru hike places like Pacific Crest Trail tend to wear trail runners now. These running shoes grip well, breathe, dry somewhat quickly, and are super light. The downside is that trail runners don't last as long, but they should last longer than the 780km of The French Way.  Perhaps this form of shoe wear is just not popular in Europe yet or at the time the book was written (published in 2013). I'm currently deciding between trail runners and broken in hiking sandals for my walk this summer. This is just my opinion, as the saying goes "hike your own hike."Overall, I recommend that future pilgrims read this. Buen Camino!Update:I noticed on my Camino that most Americans under 30 were wearing trail runners, and were quite happy with them. My feet were happiest with socks and sandals. A great look I know, but hey I'm happy when my feet are happy. I suggest reading the book still. It was useful in prepping for my Camino, just remember to listen to your body and enjoy the journey.

    Practical Down-to-Earth Guide for the Camino de Santiago
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 20, 2013*

Yates and Hnatiuk's guide, 
  
Pilgrim Tips & Packing List Camino de Santiago: What you need to know beforehand, what you need to take, and what you can leave at home.







  
  
    , is very helpful, practical, and down-to-earth.  It is not, technically, a guide to the Camino.  It does not suggest routes, or recommend facilities, or give distances and altitudes.  Rather this is the guide you need to prepare for the trip.  Read this when you're ready to start buying equipment and before you pack for the trip.The authors walk you through equipment choices, always stressing the desirability of minimizing the weight you carry in your backpack, and encouraging the potential pilgrim to simplify.  They also address common concerns about such topics as vicious dogs (don't worry about them!), sleeping in the refugios (take earplugs), what to wear, what to pack, how to pack, and other advice about practical matters. The authors have walked the Camino multiple times, as well as done volunteer work with pilgrims.  It's very clear that they know whereof they speak in this book - you really get expert advice.The authors have a sense of humor about the Camino that is refreshing.  I particularly enjoyed observations like the following:  Here it is advisable to let common sense, the least common of all senses, reign.  They also provide a number of interesting, amusing, and illustrative anecdotes about pilgrims.The book is also a great reference guide.  Rather than include quickly outdated information, it provides an extensive appendix of useful web sites.  Recommended!
