[QUOTE="Trailhawk, post: 1137678, member: 93807"] I carried about 16.8 kilos inside my Silver Knight 55L Tactical Backpack, about a kilo in my Mystery Ranch A5 shoulder bag and a plastic bag with contents of about 1-2.5 kilos carried by my hand, when I started my journey. I looked more like a gypsy, not a pilgrim. A Dutch pilgrim I met on the second day laughed at me, saying that I could not last on my journey to Santiago de Compostela with what I carried, so I jettisoned my tarp shelter when I arrived at my albergue in Orio. It weighed 1100 grams. I was also carrying gifts of five t-shirts that I intend to give to the nicest inn keepers on the Camino de Santiago. I gave two and I have still three. But I still have around 15.5 kilos! When I arrived at Oviedo, I mailed by parcel back to my country a 40,000 mAh portable charger (it was the heaviest item), my hammock (which I never used), a pair of FRS radios, a small transistor AM/FM radio, 3-panel solar charger, an English-Spanish translation book, a novel (which I never read), soaps and other personal items. I estimated that it left me around 12.5 kilos in my backpack only, to include the last t-shirt as gift.

It contained a liter of electrolyte drink, a half-liter of juice, a bar of dark chocolate, donuts, and a sealed map case where my Cicerone guidebook, my itinerary scrapbook and notebook are kept.
