@@filiporoque4997 Thank you, we're going to walk along the San Salvador Camino to the start of the Primitivo in the hope we find our Camino legs along the way :) I'll be sure to film the routes, and make daily updates on the Camino Hacks instagram channel. I'm sure you'll do well on the Primitivo, as I hear the Norte is tough in parts too. All the best

this just hit me so hard in my nostalgic heart! miss this so much, you never really leave the camino. I walked in september last year and still miss it everyday. Thank you for the awesome content always makes me smile.

That is a long way to travel. Fingers crossed you get to go back next year and walk it all. You’ll have an amazing time. If you struggle to get more than two weeks I’d recommend looking into the Portuguese camino, from Porto. I have footage of that journey to edit next

hey there, I’m still in the process of watching it - it somehow feels more personal, or subjective now… which is something I personally really like. very ambient… when did you walk this bit? yes the editing is going well, but they are taking longer and longer 😅 but that’s because I work even more on them. It’s almost like walking again 🥹 thanks for the compliments!

Thank you, i took more time with this video and didn’t rush to get it out. I think that allowed to me go back and extend some pieces - i definitely think putting all as one longer video helped me with the pacing and tone. I walked in early June. Take as long as you need, your videos are worth the wait. I found myself as a viewer quite invested in you and your female pilgrim group. The Irish girl has a lovely way about her and comes across well in your videos - the perfect pilgrim companion. Keep up the great work my friend and maybe I’ll see you on a camino route this year 😊

@@Caminohacks it really shows that you changed the pacing - it does the Finisterre leg justice, imo. It’s funny because I’ve observed my shots getting longer and slower the longer I am on the Camino, go figure… what a nice thing to hear about my videos… I really appreciate, since I seem to pour everything i got into them 😊 - and yes, the Irish girl is/was a great companion.. I haven’t laughed this much in a long time. good times!

That’s very kind of you to say, thank you. When I’m moving along I don’t have as much time, but in finisterre I was able to shoot more, the same at the end in muxia. I’m slightly envious of how many cut aways you have in your edits - I’ll be filming more of those this year on the Primitivo. Maybe as the journey goes on you’re relaxing into Camino life and with that it changes how you see the world, and capture it. Your time and attention comes across in your videos, they’re great and an enjoyable watch. Community really is the magic that makes the Frances so so special. Any Camino plans for this year?

Your video gave me an idea how it is out there. I feel like I am being called to do it, but I am afraid I don't have the physical capacity. I also looked into 'short camino' to see if I can be done it in small chunks a day at a time...

Thank you for a great video. Especially as I did this camino last April and - because it rained most of the time - I didn't see half of what you can see in your video. I still loved every minute though and definitely thinking of doing it again to see what I missed. One tip I would add is that in Lires there is a beautiful beach and cafe overlooking it if you go round the church to the right. It only takes about 20 mins but definitely worth it if the weather is good. Have you done the Camino Vadiniense?

@Caminohacks

April can be a bit wet, but glad you still enjoyed your walk. I didn’t know about that secluded beach, it sounds lovely. I may walk this route again this year after finishing the Primitivo, so will check it out. I’ve not walked that Camino, have you? Where does it start?

Thanks so much for this wonderful video; very realistic and authentic. I love imagining myself on those same hills, sitting at those same cafes for second and third breakfast in May when I do my first Camino. :D I have a question. At 13:10, you show removing your Leki wrist protectors. As I train, my wrist and thumbs are complaining a bit to me, though I try to hold them properly and as loose as I can. I've not noticed anyone else use the protectors in any other video. What can you tell me about them? I went on the Leki website and didn't see them.

@Caminohacks

5 ай бұрын

How exciting, your first camino! Great to hear you’re training for it. The leki wrist straps allow you to hold onto the poles and use them correctly - it often means you don’t have to grip them as tightly. The Leki wrists straps are quick release, which is why you saw me taking them off. These are the poles I use that come with the straps - amzn.to/3V0SVR5 Cheaper poles have a simple strap connected to the poles. Here is a link to just the quick release strap, but they are for leki poles that have the quick release mechanism - amzn.to/491pB2A Happy to answer any questions you have.

@loreeraine7273

5 ай бұрын

Interesting! I haven't heard of the quick release straps. Did you bring these from home because I've heard the airlines won't allow walking poles in carry ons and we aren't checking baggage. But perhaps I can buy these on the trail.@@Caminohacks

Because my poles aren’t cheap I don’t trust the airport so always put them in my bag and put them in the hold luggage. I would Google to see if there is a hiking shop in Porto, there should be. You can pick up poles in Decathlon stores along the routes in Spain, plus the bigger cities have camping / hiking shops too.
