I have a 28 liter back pack and it is more than enough, when packed it is only half full. Last time I had a 55 l back pack with lots of stuff I did not need (sleeping mat for instance). After a few days I sent a parcel to Santiago with 2,5 kg of stuff... My goal this time is to bring only what I...

Skip your gloves. Really no need for that. If it is cold in the morning you just have your hands in your sleeves of your long sleeved shirt/poncho/rain jacket. I am leaving in less than two weeks and just cut 150 unnecessary grams of straps from my back pack. I have also been cutting of lots of...
