OOsterman reacted to henrythedog's post in the thread Walking in October - does it differ much from May / June? with
Like.
The rocks are not razor sharp. No need for hyperbole. It’ll not be massively different. There’s a greater chance of rain and it’ll be a little cooler than in May and June. If you’re from London it’ll be warmer and dryer than at home. -
OOsterman replied to the thread 34 or 38 L pack.No, no, I am talking about the big mesh pocket on the back, not the two on both sides, where usually are bottles.

OOsterman replied to the thread 34 or 38 L pack.I would not worry about 4 litres but I would look at how comfortable I am. Exos is lighter, but you have to add the weight of the raincover (wich is not included). Stratos doesn't have the big mesh pocket; it has a zipped pocket instead. Anyway...

OOsterman reacted to Jarrad's post in the thread Backpack: UL vs. Structured vs. In-between with Like.
Oh, I love this thread! I agree with @Peterexpatkiwi that UL is not a great term. Maybe frameless? Unstructured? I used a Montbell 40L ultralight pack on the CdF in 2014. The model I used (a Versalite) saved weight with the lack of hard...

OOsterman replied to the thread Backpack: UL vs. Structured vs. In-between.Well, while saving 500 gr. on your pack is quite easy (just do not bring a couple shirts), losing 15 kg. of your weight is certainly more difficult and takes quite a lot of time.

Yes but I'm not talking about the backpack, I'm talking about bodyweight i.e specifically the OP talks about being overweight so I'm advising that rather than getting hung up about half a kilo on his back that he considers losing a kilo or two of...

OOsterman reacted to David Tallan's post in the thread Packing List Review & Questions 3 days before departure. with
Haha.
Always remember that the beauty of the 10% rule is that if your pack is a kilo too heavy, rather than reduce its weight, you can just enjoy yourself with the desserts and gain another ten kilos. Then it will be within the permitted weight... -
OOsterman reacted to dick bird's post in the thread Backpack: UL vs. Structured vs. In-between with Like.
If 5.1 kgs is the full monty, weight isn´t an issue. There are posts here from people weighing weigh under 75kgs, older than you and carrying 8kgs+. Here is another one, I am over 70, weigh 72 kgs and routinely carry 9-10kgs on camino, more...

OWith a well fitted pack, why would there be any weight at all on the shoulders? It’s all on the hips. Or maybe that is only the case with a well structured pack? I go for comfort with a well structured pack. Also being a bit overweight…..I...
