I have a very light day pack (that folds into a little pocket when not in use). I put my passport, airline tickets etc in there, and place it in the top of my larger pack. Whenever I leave my larger pack somewhere, I lift out of the day pack and take it with me. Also useful for putting food items in when out shopping at the end of the day. Worked well for me. When walking on the Camino- rather than in a city-, my camera (in its case) easily attaches to the waist belt of my larger pack, and I can use it when I want to take a photo. It goes in my day pack when I am out and about after the walking day is over.jemitch65 said:I am walking the Camino Frances on May 23. Does anybody have any advice as to what to buy for carrying valuables? Is a fanny pack the way to go or is there something better pilgrims are using to carry their passport, cash, camera etc?
You can get them elsewhere - here is the UK shop link http://www.kathmandu.co.uk/Packs_&_Luggage/Cases_&_Wallets/40281/Pocket_Pack_v2.htmlKiwiNomad06 said:Mine was a Kathmandu brand- which I think is probably only available in NZ/Australia. There's a picture here, but it doesn't show how small the pocket is: http://www.kathmandu.co.nz/Packs_&_Luggage/Travel/40281/Pocket_Pack_v2.html#

I just looked into ordering one of these bags. Unfortunately neither site ships outside their region.
I imagine that there must be similar bags produced in other countries by other manufacturers. Janet from Adelaide had a lovely light day bag- I think the brandname was something like Onya.wawpdx said:I just looked into ordering one of these bags.

I now use a similar system to the daypack mentioned above but I use a general satchel (slung over the neck cotton bag) rather than a specific outdoor brand backpack. I find this is less 'look at the tourist' (my mouth does that enough for me, I dont need what im wearing to scream it out as well).
At the end of the day, it comes down to what you feel comfortable wearing.
