[QUOTE="BarbaraW, post: 1148508, member: 91010"] Some very good advice already in this thread. I'm a bit obsessive about what I carry and weigh everything in my pack. If I'm buying new kit, This website is helpful, as they weigh everything too: [URL]https://ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/[/URL] If you're packing small, a drybag inside the pack help compress soft stuff as well as keeping things dry. I use a very comfortable and light 20 litre Osprey but it's a bit of a squeeze. If buying new for a camino I'd get 26 or 30 litres. Your list doesn't include a towel. There are many threads on this forum discussing towels.: the lightest and most compact I found was the Sea to Summit Airlight - 74 gm in XL size (though I wouldn't call 21x52 inches extra large!) Some people sleep in the clothes they're going to wear the next day. If you prefer something else the lightest fabrics are fine lawn or silk. T shirt fabric, which is nice to wear, tends to weigh heavy. You'll need some kind of small pouch or waist pack for when you're not walking and so you can keep valuables with you at all times. You might want to take earplugs, and an eye shade. I found I didn't need a torch, spork, washing line, pegs or tape. It's often the small things that add up in weight - toiletries, notebook, pen, keys, nail clippers, purse, chargers, pouches etc. One bar of soap can do for body, laundry and hair. I bought a compact European USB charger, which weighs 20 gm. The lightest way to carry water is in the small plastic bottles you can buy it in. I kept mine for the whole trip, but it would have been more sustainable to have brought the heavier plastic waterbottle which I normally use walking at home Whether you need a pillowcase is debatable. In 28 days only one albergue didn't provide a pillowcase. I tried to use my towel as a cover, but it slipped off. A rolled up fleece worked fine as a pillow instead. Spanish pillows are long and narrow: pillowcases are about 36x16 inches. I hope this is some help and that you have a great camino. [/QUOTE]
