    Backpack Capacity (DaveBugg Bait!)

    In addition I loose pack anyway. I am often asked how heavy my pack is and am pleased with the smiles as the person picks it up and realises it is about the same as theirs.

    Backpack Capacity (DaveBugg Bait!)

    Yes! How do you know? I have only ever carried a reliable 65L pack and do not worry too much about weight as I train with more than I plan to carry. I this instance I wonder if size matters?

    Cookwear lunchkit necessity?

    In addition I carry a 15cm X 8cm (6" x 3") collapsible microwave safe bowl and have learned how to cook a number of meals using it. From Sarria onward there is very little provision of utensils in the Municipal albergues.

    Need advice - Hydration Bladder

    I agree. I use a 2L bladder when treking. However on Camino (done 3) I simply attach a 1L bottle to my shoulder strap and on those few longer stretches between water supplies carry another bottle in my pack. Either way works Frank

    How big is your pack?

    All very interesting. I have never worried about the weight. I just carry what I have taken which means 10-19 kgs over the 3 French Caminos walked so far. I am 67. I have an A.L.I.C.E. Vulhulla pack I used as a soldier. It is covered with external pockets and zipped down is 65L, unzipped...
