I still have some luxuries (phone/camera/extra battery/journal) but I'm OK with that weight.

You sit on the bubble wrap. Perfect.

What about Vaseline for feet a necessity
When are you leaving and where are you walking from. I leave on Monday and begin walking on Thursday. My pack is about 7 kg for 6 weeks so quite happy with that.Total weight 17.2lbs (7.8kg)

you don't seem to have a first aid kit nor a small sewing kit ..
... and what is 28 for?

Your daughter sure does have a great name. I am an Isobel. I am arriving in Roncesvalles on Wed night and leaving on Thursday morning. I am taking the first few days slowly till I get my fitness up and recover from the long flights from Australia.Issy,
We leave from SJPP on Tuesday morning if all of our flights go through, or Wednesday morning if not. Sounds like we will be just a day ahead of you. Congrats on 7kg. Nicely done. My bride, Allison is 5.8kg w/o water so she's done nicely as well. Being only a day or two apart we're pretty likely to run (walk) into each other. Look for the adorable, madly-in-love 50yr old couple celebrating their 25th anniversary together.
Our daughter, Isabel, graduates High School here in North Carolina tomorrow (Saturday the 24thMay). Based on your post I think you might agree she has a great name!
BTW....love the picture of the elephants. FUN.Your daughter sure does have a great name. I am an Isobel. I am arriving in Roncesvalles on Wed night and leaving on Thursday morning. I am taking the first few days slowly till I get my fitness up and recover from the long flights from Australia.
I hope we get to meet up. Safe travels
Hi. I will start on Thursday too, from STJdP. Buen CaminoWhen are you leaving and where are you walking from. I leave on Monday and begin walking on Thursday. My pack is about 7 kg for 6 weeks so quite happy with that.
Agree with David, a first aid kit with bandaids etc., Compeeds, cold meds which you are accustomed to using, Advil/Tylenol and Icy Hot.you don't seem to have a first aid kit nor a small sewing kit ..

I'm travelling with my wife. I have the camera goo and she's carrying the First Aide kit and sewing kit. Well spotted!
As was mentioned already, the bubble wrap is multi-function. To use to sit on. I also loathe the idea of another set of shoes for the showers. I thought if I ever have a problem with standing in one of the showers barefooted (unlikely) I could spread the bubblewrap on the floor of the shower. In an emergency it also makes a great insulator if stuffed under your jacket....and at .02kg you can't really complain.
That said...I'm a complete newby to the Camino and all credit goes to this forum for the great ideas for weight reduction and the primary concept of multifunction items.
Best piece of advice someone quoted was that 1/2 the weight of a newby's pack it typically "fear". "What if" weighs a ton.
We leave on Sunday for France. Between now and then I have to get my youngest daughter graduated from High School. ....so it is going to be a busy weekend.
Last question for my friends on this forum:
Laundry detergent for washing clothes. I'm sure it is for sale along the way, but do you typically bring any with you or borrow/share along the way? I wouldn't expect so, but thought it was worth the price of the question.
Believe me, a cheap set of rubber sandals to wear in the showers is well worth bringing. They don't weigh much, dry fast, you can keep them in an outer pouch on the backpack and throw them in a trash bin in Santiago. You don't want to get a case of foot fungus on the Camino.

Yes get 2 poles. You will need them for the Gently Rolling Hills of Spain (wink wink).Great list and a good weight. The Iphone will also double as a camera if you want to pare a little more off the list. I would also recommend two Trekking poles, liner socks and wet gear, ie rain pants.
Have a safe and enjoyable Camino.
Buen Camino.
