[QUOTE="JabbaPapa, post: 601563, member: 195"] It is indeed a silly rule as far as the Camino is concerned, and most pilgrims as well as "the average pilgrim", though it is still applicable in certain particular cases : Namely, growing children, and younger people who are of "average" height and build and weight. Note that if you're a heavier & taller growing child, you should probably ignore it. But it's still a good rule of thumb for family hikes with children of varying ages, to ensure none of them is carrying too much weight. Also it's not so much a rule about how much your pack should weigh, but rather what it should not weigh more than. A pack that [I]did[/I] weigh 10% of my own weight would be massively heavy !!
