    A word of warning on trail runners or light weight shoes.

    On my Camino last year, I used the Altra Olympus 4 and added a rock plate for extra protection. My feet did not feel the cobblestones. I used the rock plate from the Altra Superiors that I got on sale.

    28L pack on the Camino Frances this October

    I don't understand what is meant by this. I am not being disrespectful. I just don't understand. Shouldn't 1 kg outside of backpack equal 1 kg inside backpack? Please explain. Thank you.
