Camino Prep (Day -35) — today’s decision

I’m walking the Camino Francés starting April 15 — Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port into Spain, across to Santiago.

Day -35

Today’s prep is about one decision — not ten. I’m trying to keep this real and sustainable, not an “I watched 40 YouTube videos and now I’m an expert” cosplay.

The honest friction

What part of prep is currently annoying me / making me procrastinate?

The decision I’m making today

  • shoes & sock system / pack weight / training / lodging strategy / budget / filming plan

Question for you

If you’ve done the Camino (or any long walk), what’s the one mistake you see beginners repeat over and over?
