[QUOTE="Former member 92300, post: 1015155"] The only one I might disagree with here is #1. You could go either way on this one. You can have a 30-40L well fitting lighter weight backpack that you can put EVERYTHING in - and have a stuff sack or lightweight packable bag that you place half or more of the contents in and ship that secondary bag ahead. OR... you can have a bigger bag that you put everything in and remove only your daypack and your daytime needs in. Personally, I would lean towards having a good quality 30L pack, make sure I pack light as if I was carrying everything town to town, because you will also be getting to/from the Camino via trains/planes/buses etc and you want your main bag to be light and comfortable too. Then have a stuff sack big enough to hold most of your gear that you don't need during the day and remove that to ship ahead. Then you still have a high quality backpack that fits well for both circumstances. I personally think this option is simpler - though others might disagree. It also helps prevent you from overpacking. You may not think overpacking is a problem if shipping your bag ahead daily - but again - think about the time that you WILL have to manage all of your gear yourself. But having a well fitted bag with hip belts and chest strap is essential either way. [/QUOTE]
