    Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT

    I understand it's not the base weight but you will be carrying it. We carry two 2 liter bottles of water while we walk. What is a known daily weight we figure into the packs weight.

    Afraid of top bed without fence

    It happens, herself fell off the top bunk in Roncesvalles. First thing that hit the floor was her heel. She spent the next six month's in a boot. She the only one I know that fell out of bed.

    Injury that ended Camino

    Oh yeah, she faithfully wore "the boot" for the next six months and we were back in May. We started in Saint Jean Peid de Port and walked all the way to Muxia. (Hint, she is a Marine and that fall wasn't going to stop her).

    Injury that ended Camino

    On our first Camino in 2010 herself fell off the top bunk in Roncesvalles and broke her heel. Ended our first attempt on the France. She's a tough Marine though, was back the following May.
