Well no danger of overpacking.On my first camino I used my a Lowe Alpine Airzone 25…7kg great bag
When I started my CF late Sept I used a Quechua 40l bag added a sleeping bag and extra clothing…mistake 11kgGood bag though
I’m going back to my Lowe Alpine when I return to the CF in 4wks
But here’s my question I’m going back early Sept for 10 days and I’m thinking of trying a 5l waist bag (picture below) I’ve already tried it with a basic pack list
Boxers
Socks
T-shirt
Shorts
Towel
Soap
First aid kit (small)
Charger for phone
Micro torch
Bag liner
Rain jacket
Survival Bag
Travel document…
So come on has anyone tried this or am I madView attachment 121873
Freudian slip?
I actually bought it for my days out walking with the dog but when it arrived the Camino thing activated in my brain and I did the fairly normal I wonderTrecile was kind enough to link the blog where this exactly has been done (for some reason, i always fail to google it).
I think it is possible as long as you stay in private rooms. Once you have to add a sleeping bag, this falls apart.
Personally i would rather get a really light backpack that offers more room to have more options clothing wise. The lightest backpack i own clocks in at 172g and offers around 15L capacity. I'd guess the hip bag is significantly heavier at a third of the volume.
Brave call, but what’s the worst that can happen? You need to go to Decathlon ?On my first camino I used my a Lowe Alpine Airzone 25…7kg great bag

Oh, I understand now! You mean a "sleeping bag liner"! I was thinking you were talking about a "pack liner" and wondered why you were taking one without the pack.I usually just use a bag liner
Lordy, you do have a good memory!
That thread made an impression on me, and I bookmarked it.Lordy, you do have a good memory!

I seriously considered this idea and got a similar bag to yours but I felt it was too bulky. I got an Osprey 18 litre stuff bag. (My gear weighs only 2kgs). I also got an Osprey waist pack for phone, cards, passport etc. Both packs are super light and are working really well in my training for the Portuguese Coastal in September.On my first camino I used my a Lowe Alpine Airzone 25…7kg great bag

Shoulders would be sore I think.I'm in agreement with @henrythedog. Shoulder harness and microbag.
But trousers would stay up.Shoulders would be sore I think.
Or kilt maybe but that’s a decision for another dayBut trousers would stay up.
Does it come in other colours? I mean if we all have the same colour how would we know which was ours?Here is the Real Bag Size as an Extreme Sport
