Wow, this is a very thorough analysis. I won't bring poles because the terrain is mostly easy, I would rather keep my gear simple and light. And without poles I don't need to check luggage.

Put on rubber covers to go through towns.(remember thousands of people per year are going through) BUT take them off the rest of the time. Lots of fine gravel on Camino. Need the metal spikes for grip

Great video Doug, Thought I'd pass along one item. You mentioned you wouldn't use a hiking stick because of getting it through TSA. On that same subject, hiking/trekking poles are a PROHIBITED item on TSA carry-on list. You will have to put them in checked luggage. I've heard of a couple people on European Airways that didn't have a problem, but 99% of the people out there have said, they were NOT allowed. If you're going with checked luggage for your backpack then it's a none issue. Buen Camino

@@BackcountryPilgrim It would be nice to not have to check luggage, but not many backpacks are going to fall within the 22"x14"x9" or 45" total inches. carry-on limit. I know my Osprey Stratos 36 comes in at a total of 53".

I'd like to see them try to and tell a disabled person who uses a hiking pole as an assistive device for balance this.
