I leave Wednesday and hope to walk most of the Swiss Jacobsweg (Camino), carrying a Pinon Bivy by Katabatic Gear, combining this with the tarp capacity of my One Wind Poncho. I have done many Caminos and always use the 28L Gregory backpack. Buen Camino, fondly sandi
One of my t-shirts becomes a pillowcase at night. I alternate my 2 hiking pants between walking and sleeping pj's. Soap-embedded laundry papers, 1/2 bar combined soap, shampoo and conditioner. Opinal knife and bowl for picnic lunches. Freezer bags and insulated 'Big Sky' bag for leftovers...
I am also in agreement with what has already been said, good advice, plus I have only ever carried a 28l Gregory pack, really enough! Buen Camino and I may see you there. Fondly sandi, Hospitalera at El Burgo Ranero October 15-31/22.
A true pilgrim; generous. Your 'stuff' does not own you. Bless you David especially as you bless someone else. A continued 'buen camino' to you Fondly sandi- Canada.
This Spring I will use a 'compactor bag', inserting like a liner before placing all my items into my Gregory.....an added protection to the rain cover. You fill it and then fold the edges downwards....perfect and without undue extra weight!
I love my Gregory 28L and am planning my Camino#5 with it right now. My only unknown is how/where does the Platipus water bag go? (inside pack or on outside). I will go to an outfitter today to ask around :) Buen Camino!
Mountain Equipment Co-op, Vancouver B.C. has some great collapsible dishware that is ideal for your purposes....no lid....but the bottom is a cutting board. I used mine almost every day on several Caminos....I always buy an Opinal knife on day 1, folds safely and remains sharp....gear is...
I would happily supply anyone willing to cover postage.....wool free to you as fellow-pilgrim :) Just PM me privately with your contact info and I can get an estimate of shipping for you. the wool lives with me in Vancouver Canada (west coast, Fraser Valley to be specific). fondly sandi
