    The Five Pound Camino Pack

    A 500ml water bottle wouldn't provide a lot of hydration. I couldn't find the weight of the water in your list. 500ml should weigh around 1.1 lbs, and most of us carry at least twice, if not four times, that. Granted, the weight diminishes as we consume the water, but the starting weight...

    The Five Pound Camino Pack

    I’ll admit it, I can’t be the only one, I never weighed my pack. I took what I knew I needed, replenished what I used as I went and returned home with everything I left with. I carried my pack from Pamplona to Santiago without any issues. I wouldn’t dream of walking without water IMO that is...

    Long haul flying

    I am getting ready for my 2nd Camino flying out of LAX non stop to Madrid. Last trip I was very lucky to have a 1/2 full plane so for much of the flight I had 2 seats. I’m sure this year I won’t be so lucky so I’ve been looking at this leg sling. The google reviews are 50/50 I’m curious if any...
