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!
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!
Thanks!
I saw many people wearing some sandals or slippers in the shower, so I thought it might be a good idea.

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...
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...
