    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    Woody, Thanks for the info! Your comments about the G4-20 sound encouraging!!! Luckily I live in the USA and I can find G4-20 for a lot less. Cheers,

    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    How is the ventilation on your G4??? I sweat like pig :-) so ventilation is important to me. My Osprey does a great job of keeping my back dry. This new Rab has some ventilation, but not nearly as good as the Osprey. Thanks!

    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    The side pockets have an opening on the side (might be hard to see in the photos) and are very easy to access and the material is very stretchy. The pockets on the shoulder straps are big enough to hold my Sony Rx-100 camera (which is a big plus for me since I take lots of photos along the...

    My Secret Weapon for Blisters

    Thanks for the info... much appreciated!

    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    Because it was what I was using (48l) for my first 2 Caminos (when I did a daily blog and had to carry a laptop, charger, mouse cables, camera...). I'm trying a lightweight approach this time and not doing a daily blog... So I don't need 48l, and I am trying 28l. Plus, I'm finding that with...

    My Secret Weapon for Blisters

    FYI... I only used ChapGPT to rewrite my content to spice it up with some humor/flair to the content. It does a decent job and can add a little fun to the content (if you know how to use the right prompts)

    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    YEAH... I was thinking the same thing. :cool: But it seems like it keeps my clothes less wrinkled, so there is an added benefit.

    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    This was also on my shortlist. How did it hold up for you???

    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    UPDATE: Space Issue --> Problem Solved!!! In my previous message, I mentioned that fitting everything into my 28L pack was a bit challenging. However, I'm happy to say that I managed to solve the problem and even have some room to spare! I utilized the "Ranger Roll" technique to fold and...

    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    Yes, picking a Camino backpack (like much of life :) ) is full of comprises. Balancing weight vs comfort vs size vs cost vs... My first 2 Caminos (with my Osprey & blogging equipment) weighed a lot. So, I thought it would be fun/interesting to try an ultra-lightweight approach to this Camino.

    The Perfect (almost) Backpack?

    Greetings, I have done the Camino twice (French Way) and used my trusty Osprey Exos 48. It has served me well. I'm doing the French Way again in a few weeks, and I have decided to go ultra-lightweight and found a great new pack that doesn't get any buzz on this forum. Now, don't get me wrong...
