[QUOTE="Corwen, post: 70812, member: 12028"] Pack: Golite Jam or Pinnacle (preferably Jam). A pack does nothing for you except stop your stuff falling on the floor so get the lightest one possible, it is one of the big three items (pack, tent, sleeping bag) where you can save considerable weight so make the most of it. A decent trekking pack these days should weigh less than 800 grams. Something I'm looking into is the Highlander Summit 40, says its 750 grams and has a back system which will keep you cool. Walked all the way across Norway on Olav's Way (600 kms) with the Jam and recently from Salisbury to Canterbury in 8 days (260 kms) and it performed perfectly.The old Jam I have is actually lighter than the new Jam2 so look out for an old one! Works well with the lightest type of thermarest which you can fold up and put in the back of the pack as padding. Shoes, well I walked the last 400 miles of my Camino in sandals. Nice loose sandals keep your feet cool, its when your feet get hot and sweaty that the skin softens and blisters appear. But not everyone is as extreme as me! I'd recommend waterproof trail running shoes, again as light as possible, and a pair of the lightest sandals you can find. Having two pairs of footwear is a boon on a long trip as blisters caused by one may heal in the other, and sandals are useful for in refugio showers and in the evening. Poles, well I swear by them because I have dodgy knees. I have Leki Titanium [oles which have a really good locking mechanism and are very light, but got them a few years ago now so there may be better ones out there. [/QUOTE]
