Be ruthlessTo my fellow pilgrims past and present,
I have read previous threads and seen how much everyone has helped their fellow pilgrims on this forum and would appreciate the same gesture. I am in need of a second, third or forth opinion on my packing list as this is my first camino and don't want to take too much or miss anything crucial.
I would really appreciate any advice or suggestions on what to cut or on anything missing. I have attached my packing list below and again would love to have some feedback
Thanks and Buen Camino
Alice

Thank you for the ID badge clip idea for our clothesline ... I just ordered 25 off of Ebay for under $6 with free shipping (smaller lots were available) ...Alice:
You are well down the road on getting ready. Here are a few suggestions:
Hope that helps.
- Is that pack an ALPS Denali? My son has that and it is a great pack but pretty heavy and big for the camino. If you can afford it, I would look for a lighter smaller (25-35L) pack. But if it fits, as Lise said, go for it.
- You will want a small laundry kit for washing. It should include a drain plug, clothes pins or diaper pins, and a 20 foot cord in case all the provided clothing racks are used or not in a sunny spot. I found these name badge clips to be better than clothes pins and lighter. http://www.amazon.com/Name-Badge-Clip-Attachment-Strap/dp/B0080HQ11W/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1397223478&sr=8-3&keywords=Badge Clips w/Mylar Strap
- You may want to limit the bottoms to one pair of pants, one capris, and one shorts. Lise is correct that you wear one and wash one, and MAYBE have one in reserve.
- You have the rain coat covered, but does the pack have a built in rain cover? What about your legs? In May it can still be pretty wet. Maybe an Altus raincoat the covers you and the pack and your legs. You can get that in St Jean.
- I am a guy, so take this for what it is worth. A small handbag that will be used for keeping your credentials and money when you are in the shower makes sense, but don't carry one tht is very heavy.

Oh! I'm not able to upload an .xls fileWill happily send it to anyone who asks s.nicholls@gmx.co.uk
Buen camino!
Good idea, Pat, but I can't get the .xls file on one screen on my laptop, even when reduced to an almost unreadable 50%.I took a screenshot of an .xls file and uploaded that as a jpeg, seemed to work.
