    Buy a new pack or use what I have

    As an update - after I got all my things together and packed it all into my old pack, it didn't feel right and was uncomfortable to carry. I went to the store today with all the things I plan to bring with me on Camino and was able to leave with a Gregory Jade 43. I'm very happy with the fit and...

    Buy a new pack or use what I have

    Thanks! I measured it tonight when it was empty and it seems like it should be okay. The frame is about 20.5inches. As long as I don't pack the top compartment, I should be okay. Fingers crossed!

    Buy a new pack or use what I have

    Hi all, I'm planning to walk my first Camino on the Frances in August, and I have a question about my backpack. I own an Osprey Kestrel 48 that I used once about 10 years ago that I was planning to use for the Camino. I've recently been culling my packing list and starting to get a sense of...
