Rain protection - ( Overkill ? or cut back to save some weight?)
I don't think those three items are overkill. I used to walk with rain jacket + backpack cover, and that works fine for drizzle and light showers ... UNTIL it starts absolutely pitching rain, and then it might not be enough. Waterproof jackets can lose their finish over the course of a long...- Oxford Alice

Ultralight rain kilt for ultracheap tip
I walked with a Cuben fibre rain kilt in 2014 and it was brill. Much easier to put on than trousers, it kept me dry enough, and doubled as a sit mat when needed. That's a great price! Mine cost $40, I think.- Oxford Alice

Zip lock bags vs dry bags vs stuff sacks
I'm a fan of zip-locks, and also use those tiny ones that spare buttons come in when you buy a blouse or dress. I push my medications out of their blister packs and put them in one of those, also use them for my sewing kit, ear plugs, anything really small. I put my Lush bar shampoo, which is...- Oxford Alice

Which Osprey backpack?
I'm in castrojeriz as I write this. I'm carrying a 32 litre Osprey and at this point I'm probably 7.5 skin out because I've used some stuff up. I am seeing lots of injuries that just have to be related to mega packs and of course going too far too fast. The problem with a big pack is that you...- Oxford Alice

Pack weights: I just measured it
I leave on Friday 25 April, beginning my pilgrimage in Roncesvalles. I'm 7.716 kg skin out. I'm wearing 2.943 kg, and carrying 4.773 kg which includes my Osprey Hornet 32 pack. As you can tell, it's all been weighed on the kitchen scale! Water and food will be extra. I'm a 60-year-old woman...- Oxford Alice

Croc shower sandals and other ways to cut weight
Tevas are my second pair of shoes. Great for walking in mud or rain, also good in the shower. They aren't as light as crocs, but with three points to adjust the fit, they are serious walking shoes and feel great. If my feet feel good, all is well.- Oxford Alice
