I haven’t walked the entire Camino in a while. But I wonder what the situation is with blankets. You could carry a lighter bag and hope. The few albergues I stayed in on my short Camino last year had them. Of course you don’t want to be caught out. But I bet the Hospitaleros have some blankets...
I used a Kammok Bobcat 45. Expensive but extremely lightweight, packs down to nothing and warm. It’s also something you can use at home after the Camino. I carried a silk liner but never used it.
Hi Stewart,I have used sealskin socks, (no inner socks, but I don’t see why not). I wore Chaco sandals with an innersole gorilla-glued on. I like the adjustable strap on the Chacos.
For rain I had a knee-length rain coat and a lightweight umbrella. I didn’t have problems with rain getting in...
Hi all, I’m calculating the weight of my backpack. When I get to Spain I plan to buy an Altus rain poncho. I used one years ago on Le Puy. Could anyone give me the weight? Thanks!
