    ChrisMayou reacted to Fortyforward's post in the thread Ultra lightweight backpack--worth it? with Love - Red heart Love - Red heart.
    I totally agree with this. An adjustment of my pack by someone who knew what they were doing took all the weight off my shoulders and the small of my back. My pack was well over 10% of my body weight, I did feel effort uphill (and the stairs...

    Thanks for the clarification. The ultralight packs I'm considering have hip belts. Buen camino!
  • ChrisMayou
    Norte has lots of ups and downs, and the trail is often difficult underfoot, and not having a belt was very missed. I'm walking a flatter, less technical Camino starting in early April. The Nero will be fine for that.

    I looove planning! Its part of the experience for me. On my first Camino I was stressed about keeping to the plan - "what will I do if it does not work". The camino had a couple of lessons for me, one of them being that my plans dont work. My...
