    Last minute packing struggles

    Thanks for all your thoughtful replies! I managed to get my pack down to 6,7 kg. Am gonna put everything I need in there now and take the train to the airport! I can write a review on my packing list when I'm on the trail, or back home, so others can learn from it as well!

    Last minute packing struggles

    That would have been great, but I couldn't find anything lighter that would fit me (believe me, I tried them aaaallll). I'm 1.62 m with narrow shoulders, so I ended up buying a backpack with an adjustable back length that fits me comfortably. It has very good weight distribution though, so I am...

    Thanks Rick! I just bought me a merino buff on sale (48 g), so I can use it instead of a sleeping mask (didn't have one yet), and instead of my beloved but way too heavy woolen scarf ;) I'm down to 6,8 kg now, still working on it!

    Dear @SYates, thanks for the comprehensive respond! I now feel much better about leaving some of the stuff at home :) Fleece vest is a fleece jacket (English is not my main language).

    Last minute packing struggles

    Thanks for the quick responses! I actually walked with a poncho (not mine, but my father's) in the rain this week. Pants, even though rolled up to above the knees got completely soaked. That's why I thought the rainpants might be a good idea! @SYates, I can type the packing list here! Just...

    Last minute packing struggles

    Dear camino loving people, I'll be leaving for my first camino this thursday (camino Frances). I got almost everything prepared, but I'm struggeling a bit on what to bring for warmth and rainprotection. I will probably be walking until the half, or maybe even the end of october, since I plan to...
