[QUOTE="t2andreo, post: 1105503, member: 25553"] I opine that someone arriving at an albergue without a rucksack might have a problem establishing they are a "real" pilgrim. Getting a bed might pose a problem. I have never had this situation crop up. It is possible to wear a vest, a multi-pocketed belt, or a clever jacket to manage to carry enough 'basic' gear to accomplish this. I have considered and thought about this issue a lot. I cannot get beyond lots of cargo type pockets in my pants and jacket, and some sort of haversack, over the shoulder. A few years back, one of our fellows in this forum was seriously doing Caminos with only a butt / fanny pack, holding no more than about 10 liters. I cannot remember his name, except to recall that I thought he was either British or Irish. Then again - I could be and likely am - wrong. Then again, is wearing a shoulder harness with a prodigious butt pack, really a low-carry backpack? Personally, I like carrying less. But, I will always need my two poles. So, doing this in rigid adherence to "Reacher's Rules" is unlikely - at least for me. That said, I am a fan of the Lee Child book series. Several films have been made here (US) as a mini-series on TV. These shows were very entertaining, especially if one had previously read the books. Then again, and all considered, does it really matter? Everyone does their own Camino. Still, it is an interesting topic for discussion. Hope this helps. Tom [/QUOTE]
