Well, the gas bomb, cooker, pot and cup (100+200+150g) are a recommendation from my girlfriend who did the Camino Frances two ys ago and she said they're worth the extra weight. She made the way with 55l bag approx 15 kilos.William Marques said:Personally I'd always have some sort of long sleeve shirt and a pair of lightweight trousers and loose a short sleeve and pair of shorts. But that's just me.
Your list does not look too bad to me though I agree on leaving the gas behind with the cup and pot and if the large Arabian scarf is what I think it is they can weigh quite a bit. Am I reading correctly, you have waterproofs and a poncho?
The sleeping bag has 1.2kg and the sleeping pad 500g
(my skin is quite pale)
Would you tell her: "no" and let her take three kilos more?Br. David said:Umiaki - wow an old-fashioned sort of man I see, who is willing to be a beast of burden for a woman ...
so you aren't tempted to allow her to carry her own stuff then .... :roll:

Although pilgrims on routes through Switzerland should note that naked hiking has been banned there:

I note the naked swiss hikers are carrying a solar panel.

A: Don't use an aeroplane :roll:
JaneofNorwich said:To come back to the issue of equipment, am I gathering from this that I'll be ok with just a silk sleeping bag liner? I'm starting the camino from Le Puy around 22nd April. I'll be walking in light weight trousers which go just below the knee. will I need waterproof trousers or just a jacket? Also does it matter too much that my walking boots, though comfortable, are not waterproof?
