    Please review my packing List

    If your convertible pants are the same, only take one bottom. Why the day pack? Are you thinking of using Jacotrans?

    I use my iPhone. Tuck it in the waistband of my pants and it lights the whole trail. Ron

    How many pairs of shoes did you go through?

    I have always worn hiking shoes/boots. You want something with a firm sole. You will be walking over some rough terrain at times & trails with small stones. One thing I would recommend you take are insole replacements. Switch them out halfway. Ron

    Greetings, If you plan on staying in an Albergues, then yes. Also the competition for mirror space can be brutal so I would also take one of those plugin magnifying mirrors to plugin next to your bunk. If you are planning on doing your own cooking, the pans can be minimal so a good 12” cast iron...

    Pack is too large for carry-on

    I stand corrected!! In reading the post I went no further than the pack size and did not read the total weight. I had vision of Reese Witherspoon in the movie "Wild". My bad.

    Pack is too large for carry-on

    You have more to worry about than losing your pack. If you are planning on carrying a pack that size, your chance of finishing is minimal not to mention the possibility of serious injury. I have walked the Camino twice & my pack weighed 11 lbs including my sleeping bag. It did not include water...
