      MikeJS reacted to Vacajoe's post in the thread Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT with Like Like.
      There is no “supposed to weigh” weight! Somebody banish that 10% rule!!!!!! The ideal weight is simply what’s right for your ability, but lighter is always easier. The way you list out your items is incredibly confusing and is likely the root...

      2kg heavier than what? Who set that target figure for you? The only real question is "Do I need this?" If something really is essential then you must take it with you. If not then you can leave it behind. Up to you to decide what is essential.

      I do not understand what you intend to do ? If you want maps of routes in an app, you can use mapy.cz, selecting "outdoor" map: all the caminos are shown.

      MikeJS reacted to loohoorn's post in the thread Poles or No Poles? with Like Like.
      Any opposing views? I use one pole when hiking down steep mountain trails in Colorado. Otherwise, I find them cumbersome and added weight. I do not plan on bringing them on my Camino Frances (starting in Pamplona) next month. Anyone happy with...

      MikeJS replied to the thread Poles or No Poles?.
      At 70 I still find no need for poles. I just walk a lot.
