sticks,

[Dennis Cooney]

On the Via de la Plata a good solid wooden stick is a must.  You will
quickly realize the value of a good stick to get you up those difficult
spots and over the many streams.  I don´t think I could have done it so
far without my stick, which somehow I am going to take home and hang on
a wall.

wood, or what?

What about fuel?  Someone mentioned carrying gas cannisters - surely
not!  Or do most people eat in restaurants all the time?  We'd like to
cook simple things if that's possible.
