Thank you for kind words!

You are welcome! Thank you for watching my long video!))

You’re welcome!

Thank you. Yes, it was an exciting experience)))

Good for you. Good luck!

@@artemrakhnointernational478 Look up Kangaroo Island South Australia. We are planning a trip around the Island.

Have a good trip

Thank you for watching

Ничего не понятно)

Thank you! Buen Camino!

You’re welcome!

Have you found any info on this in the last 4 months since your comment?

Good luck

Where are you from and where will you start point be ?

@@splashpit I'm from Scotland and my start point will be Inverness via Ireland and Rosslaire to Bilbao then to Saint Jean Pied de Port etc I injured my back 2 months ago so just getting back into training. Hoping to go in Sept all being well.

You are welcome!

Everyone can do that

Sadly there’s not much on the tenting part of the trail , like finding a spot , how far away from a town or trail , did they have a campfire did they get bothered by locals or land owners.

Thank you! Good luck in your journey! Buen camino!

i'm planning to do the same in a month from now! is it possible to get the pilgrim's passport there and oficially start camino?

You’re welcome

Thank you! Good luck!

You’re welcome!

Did you start your trip after all?

@@PK-xt3gy No, my tour is postponed again until next year. The risk of Corona restrictions (wandering through closed regions, quarantines when crossing borders) this year (2021) was just too high for me. New starting point 1.5.2022. There is grad anyway much to do at home. But postponed is not canceled. =)

@@MonoEagle you must be on the way at this very moment if everything went as it should. buen camino!

@@krystur9060 unfortunately, nothing went according to plan because of corona. In addition, a colleague from my team was planning her family, so it was not possible to work. So now the start date is 01.05.2023. This will definitely not be postponed, if necessary 1 month early and then 1 month extended to 120 days. Postponing for 3 years is enough for me. I am more than ready for the tour. And should my legs fall off, I will "walk" on my hands. =)

From being a gopnik to becoming a pilgrim. The story of radical transformation.

I saw on another channel that tenting & camping outside was disallowed?

Gracias

I encountered people over 70 years old doing Camino

I'm in my late 60's and walking the Camino dream for me is fading. I have joined a Fitness Challenge Virtual Camino Conqueror and am having a great deal of fun. I walk,ride,treadmill daily and record my distances on line...I am coming up to my first 100 km. When I complete the 770km I will get a medal!!!!

You can do it!

There are many people in over 70 doing the Camino. One of the options is to get your backpack sent ahead of you every day, that way you don't have the carry the weight. It costs about 5 to 10 euro depending on distance and the time of the year. In the winter the don't offer it everywhere.

What a wonderful positive attitude you have. A well documented journey. Thank you for sharing it? How many languages do you speak?

Good luck!

Gracias

Permission, lol😊

I’m also glad you found me, Ruth! I remember you, and you are from Denmark! Yes I wonder why nobody does this with a tent, because it’s so easy! Maybe everybody just does like masses do without questioning it. But I met few other people who travel on Camino with a tent so we are not alone!

It's not allow free camping in Spain but if it's just one night it's ok. Maybe is because of this that people don't take their tents. Perhaps I will take mine this year because my dog will come with me and they are not accepted in the albergues. Thank you for the video and ultreia!

@@artemrakhnointernational478 thx for your video, it was quite interresting for me to see the camino from your perspective, when i have been walking many caminos the "normal" way, sleeping in albergues, 5 kg backpack. you must be really strong to carry 20 kg but i dont think it's very healthy and not so enjoyable? i couldn't help noticing that you brought a lot of heavy equipment, even 2 (!) different backpacks and a lot of different jackets. Also when camping one could do it more light weight, maybe you haven't given it much thought :-) What you call "receptionists" are actually called "hospitaleros", many of them work for free as volunteers, I myself did a few times and of course sometimes pilgrims come who have little money, whatever the reason, and we don't turn them away (I know Roncesvalles isn't a friendly place,it's a monastery not a fortress by the way, but most other albergues are). Now you know how it works and can get your Credencial (what you call card) from the beginning and get a shower every day :-) actually it's not legal to camp outside of camping sites in Spain, because if everyone would just camp where ever he wants, it would be an ecological disaster. Not all Albergues charge 10 Euros, actually it's between 5 und 15 euros (the later including breakfast), some are just donativo, means you pay what you can, so everyone can afford. These Albergues are run by organizations like the church or associations who pay the bills and the hospitaleros voluntarios clean your bed and shower for free. if you are interested in wildernis trails and ultralight backpacking I can recommend Darwin on the trail kzfaq.info/love/18exdGWh7piVWisrnDXiZg and Jupiter hikes kzfaq.info/love/TY6PJNvuO49nIG-aWSVLJQ Buen Camino :-)

@@artemrakhnointernational478 😮 you're very strong - I can't even manage half that 😅 Excellent video, though, which reminded of my Camino 5 years ago. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us 😊

The chance of a bed bug infestation would deter me from staying in a albergue.

Yes, it’s way better to be single and do whatever you want.

Yeah, I'm planning to do the same with my hammock, but my wife is in the way, even she is saying for now, that it's ok. Will see how will come out.

Yes, it’s better to travel after a divorce)

You'll be hard pressed for trees in much of the camino.

Well, it looks like we live in different worlds. Follow the restrictions if you like. And it’s not true to say that someone helped me to find a place for a tent. There’s nothing like that on video. To find a place for a tent just by yourself is very easy, no help needed. And there’s a vast land full of suitable sites for a tent far away from campgrounds, cities and villages.

@@artemrakhnointernational478 Artem Rakhno International I apologise Artem, I didn't mean that people helped you to find a site for a tent. (I have now removed that part of the previous comment that may have suggested that, it wasn't my attention. Sorry, again). What I meant to say was that you had some help in general (not about finding a place to put up a tent) from local people, for which you showed your gratitude. This is admiral on both sides, Spain is known for it's generous hospitality. I was also helped by local people and other pilgrims when I found myself in difficulties. I also tried to help others when they needed it, albeit in my own small, insignificant way. It's all a wonderful part of the Camino experience. I think you might have misunderstood my point about camping. I love camping myself, but in Spain it's currently not encouraged outside of official campsites, or land where owners have given express permission to put up a tent. So, in some areas the letter of the law can be used to fine people. On the whole it is tolerated, but not encouraged. But this does depend on where and when you are camping. Obviously, you have been very respectful in the way you did it. You are young, strong and fit; so carrying the extra load is not a problem for you. However, many pilgrims would find that difficult, or even impossible, because of health issues for example. The pilgrim experience is unique for everyone, thank you for sharing your experience in this KZfaq video. I hope to upload a video too one day, to share photos of my Camino Francés in 2018. I'm getting closer to finishing it, after all this time in lockdown here in Madrid. It won't be anywhere near as interesting as yours, as your vlog shows what it's like to walk the Camino as you walk it, and you make some great observations.

It’s totally fine. You told here your opinion. That’s good. I just mean that most of Russian travelers and civilized European hikers that’s two completely different communities. Our understanding and world view is not the same. It’s not acceptable for Russians to follow orders and stay on campgrounds when there are a lot of wild places. Most of us Russians we won’t sleep on street, but if there are a lot of beautiful locations in mountains and fields we would rather stay on them than on campgrounds. That’s just mentality. If you’re American or European you won’t understand. But I encourage everyone who stays outside of campgrounds to be especially respectful, not littering or making any harm for nature. Unfortunately there are folks who litter everywhere.

The cost adds up if you have to pay lodgings every day over a month or two.

@@splashpit this is true, but you save on some other costs that you would have had staying at home. People just need to budget their trip and decide how much they can afford to do. At the end of the day, it's not really a pilgrimage in the old-fashioned sense of the word, it another aspect of Spanish tourism, albeit with a unique and special character. There are many ways one can tailor their budget to make it affordable, but it's definitely not cheap to do unless you are going to really trim it down to the bare bones. For many people, it's a once in a lifetime experience, so that needs to be taken into consideration too. Although, here in Spain, it's quite common to find people that make a regular habit of going on holiday by walking 1 or 2 weeks Camino every year, other year or every 5 years. For them, those who I've met told me this, it is a significantly cheaper holiday than more conventional alternatives - and it's much more healthy, given all the walking that is involved.

I’m from Russia. If you have proper equipment you can do the Camino without money. Zero money is minimum needed to accomplish the journey.

@@artemrakhnointernational478 gopstop? 😉

Zero! Very cool 😎👍

I smell bullshit

Yo creo que es ruso, es educado, culto y sabe hablar español muy bien, junto al inglés, conoce Cuba, La Habana.Es ruso.

The tent was MSR freelite 2, and the sleeping bag was made in Russia(the brand I don't remember)

Thank you!

Thanks

There are plenty of signs along the Camino Frances. At any point there’s very hard to get lost. Only if you go backwards(from Finisterre or Santiago to the East) it’s little bit harder. I didn’t use any map at all.

Looks more like GoPro Maybe in churches he could recharge?
