    70L pack overkill?

    Thanks for the note. I ended up buying an Osprey 45L (800g weight) pack and started my Camino del Norte on June 21st with a total pack weight of just under 9kg. As anyone who has done del Norte can attest; it's hard even if you had no pack. I was feeling it the first three stages and stage #4...

    70L pack overkill?

    Thanks for your reply. Quick question. Can you elaborate on why the Osprey Farpoint is not the type of backpack you would want to carry?

    70L pack overkill?

    Jajajajaja. After reading all these helpful posts I shaved off two more kilos. Now down to about 8.5kg total. Although I'm going to miss my kitchen sink me thinks. :P

    70L pack overkill?

    Hi There! Starting my (first) Camino next month from Irun. I'm 194cm x 96kg and chose the Osprey Farpoint 70L pack as it was long enough to fit my Leki walking poles and all my other stuff too. That said, I've been reading a lot of posts and everyone seems to be carrying a 35-45L pack. I've...
