Camino Ready. Backpacks, Boots & (no) Blisters: Preparing for the Camino and Other Long Treks

By Mr Mark H O'Sullivan

Are you curious about the Camino? What is it; what secrets does it hold; where it starts and ends, what to take and how to prepare.

Mark H. O'Sullivan'sCamino Readyis a practical, compassionate, and experience-driven guide for anyone preparing for the Camino de Santiago or other long-distance treks. The book draws on over a decade of the author's personal pilgrimage experience-covering nearly 6,000 kilometers-along with insights from fellow walkers, volunteers, and medical professionals. Now in its 4th edition, the book has been continually refined to reflect the evolving realities of modern-day pilgrimage and long-distance walking.

At its core, Camino Ready is not a trail guide but a personal and practical handbook to prepare the body, gear, and mindset for a long journey. The author emphasizes that while many people are called to walk the Camino, far too many start unprepared-leading to injury, disappointment, or early withdrawal. This book aims to close that preparation gap.
