    DSLR-camera on the camino

    Some backpacks include a daypack which can be clipped on in front, hanging from the front attached to the shoulder straps. The Eagle Creek Thrive 90L does this. That could be a good place for a DSLR and extra lens plus other stuff one may want immediate access to while walking and without...
