Backpack Type!
I've walked Caminos with a 30l urban backpack (with a laptop compartment, even) from REI, a cheap 40l thing from Decathlon, and an Osprey Talon 44, and got to the end of each one without event or much injury. :) The only real issue with the 30l one was its length -- it was a bit too short, and...- Obilix

You know that time when you start writing about something, and when you look up you've written 6500 words? Yeah, that. I started in SJPDP late August, and finished in Finisterre at the start of October. Apparently I had a bit to say about my gear! I ended up covering every item I took and how...- Obilix
