    thanks all, I can't really take out anything, as I really am down to a bare minimum... I have decided to go with the larger one. Hard pressed the smaller one is only is more comfortable when it is not so stuffed. Also, as there are about 2 days without stores It would be nice to be able to fit...

    Sleeping bag a MUST in October?

    I wouldn't go without. In fact my really good light sleeping bag got lost moving so I just got a new one at 680 grams for less than 20£. Saving weight does not have to be costly, especially as one only needs a one season bag sleeping indors all the way...

    Salomon shoes

    I have worn the speedcross on my 2 previous caminos (a pair only lasts for one) and then, obviously, bought a new pair for this years. But they have made a new model and after 2000 km in my old shoes with no blisters this new model gave me 2 after only 4 km. They were small though (or could have...

    Thank you guys. I think I will go with the smaller one as that seems to be the preferred. I was thinking the larger one when I posted, but it does seem stupid sorta. I will get an extra smaller drybag or somesuch for extra stuff, also I previously bright an extra bag & just carried stuff in...

    Yes, I had a small extra bag on my first camino, I may do this again or hang my raingear on the outside which will also free some space up....

    I do plan on sitting and eating but I will also have to bring food in quite a fes places it being one of the smaller caminos with less infrastructure :-)

    well, with a sleeping bag and the warm puff jacket the 32 liter is almost full, I can hardly take any less than I have :D The weight is og the pack full (see how little I am bringing *looks pleased*) and I agree 600 grams is enough to notice. Also, doing the primitivo & salvador I think that...

    more on backpacks size vs weight

    I do realise that I am very light weight as it is, but I also have a scould I am afraid will give me problems. ON the other hand I am thinking as I am already low maybe just go with the big one and that I am being too extreme (can one be too extreme when aiming for ultra light?) :D

    more on backpacks size vs weight

    Hi, I am really og seven minds. I have 2 backpacks, one large and one small. The small weighs 600 grams less than the larger one. All my stuff fits in both but in the small one there is not much extra room so I would maybe have to cut my baquette in 2 in order to fit it. Which would you choose...
