I have been meaning to compile a gear list ever since returning from the Camino Frances last November.
On a previous Camino I had suffered from foot problems due to my backpack being too heavy and I realised that the only way I could significantly reduce my pack weight was to really apply myself as there is no 'one stop shop' that I could find. It took a while, often reading several reviews for any one item but it paid off as I now have a lightweight pack of durable gear and I can more or less forget about the issue of gear until something wears out. The downside is it wasn't cheap. Anyway I'll put a link here to the relevent page on my blog as it might be useful to someone.
