    Packing for the Walk

    I made a few changes along the way. I was very happy with what I started out and what I ended up with. I would do this over again same way because not having a heavy load allowed my to go along into the day without getting tired. What I had on myself ~ 4.60 lbs 1. Passport - This ended up...

    Great idea. I’ll do it.

    Packing for the Walk

    Great post. I would have considered many of the suggestions. I left the house a couple hours ago and am at the airport waiting for boarding. And guess what, plan have already been changed. I left the house this morning with an old pair of reading glass not realizing I was wearing it walking...

    Packing for the Walk

    I am bringing a cloth mask. Is that an approved alternative? I don't want to use disposable things as much as I can.

    Packing for the Walk

    I don't know how to do that. Could you give me a pointer?

    Packing for the Walk

    Going to the air port in four hours. Final weight in: 13.20 lbs = 8.80 lbs in backpack + 4.40 lbs I wear. I will report in as during the walk when/if I pick up any item or discard any items. What I wear on myself = 4.40 lbs. These are items shown on the right side of the photo: 1. Passport...

    Packing for the Walk

    Some more shuffling: 1. The notebook is out. 2. The belt is out. 3. The tin (for earphone) is out. 4. Two shoelaces are in (for hanging clothes at night). 5. The small camera is back for debate. Flying out in two days. Still more time to change things in/out.

    I will certainly report back as things develop over the course of the walk. I am curious myself too. Counting down. Buen Camino.

    Packing for the Walk

    No, really. Unlike Northerners, I don’t get burn at all. I have a dark complexion most people from Southeast Asia has. I rode bike 8-10 hours in the sun just fine. I guess I will find out soon enough. 😀

    Packing for the Walk

    It is just a pouch I made for myself (photo) years ago when I got tired of carrying around a wallet. Thick enough to hold five plastic cards. I usually put it in my front shirt pocket during the day. At night, I put it in my sock when I go to bed. If I have any bills at all, I put them into...

    Packing for the Walk

    I have two empty 350ml bottles. They are milk bottles being reused as you suggest. After a couple days, if that is not enough, I will get a third. I thought about sun tan lotion but decided not to bring it. When I am out in the sun, I don’t get burn. I get real dark. I have a neck warmers...

    Packing for the Walk

    Yes I plan to. I have a felt blanket similar to those they use on airplane. It rolls up into a small roll. It is the flannel roll in the upper left corner of the photo. If it gets really cold, I will wear more clothes to sleep. 😁

    Packing for the Walk

    Taken in all the advices from Camino friends, I proudly say the result is impressive. The total weight (everything on myself and everything in the backpack) is now 13.00 lbs. 4.60 lbs of which is what I wear and 8.40 lbs is all in the backpack, including the backpack. Here are what left on...

    Packing Toiletries for Lightweight Travel on the Camino de Santiago

    😂 Definitely a few Pepto Bismo.

    Packing for the Walk

    I appreciate the tip. You are right about the one liter bottle being lighter then the three milk bottles. And yes, people do get sick for not cleaning their bottle thoroughly. I will be very careful. By the way, I was once given the privilege of visiting a shop designing molds for high speed...

    Packing for the Walk

    I agree. I am delighted to receive so many good advices. When I weighed everything at the beginning of the post, including what I will be wearing, I got 14.2 lbs. From all the advices, I think I can get down to 13.0 lbs. I will weigh again this weekend and report back. I thought a lot...

    Packing for the Walk

    I try to get the weight what I have to carry down as low as possible. I got a lot of good ideas from here. Yours included. Thanks. Buen Camino.
