I won't take that bet because I'm sure you're rightI love your list, but even more so for your reasoning. Also it made me smile! I, of course, carry different, and reason different, because we are different. However, I bet you change something on your list yet! Thank you for sharing, and Buen Camino!
Mine is a yellow and orange tie dye patternBest new tip ever (and surprised hadn't thought of it or heard it before)...bandana for toilet paper. Wonderful.
If any one has time or the inclination to checkout my blog, My latest post is my packing list for our mid-May Camino Primitivo walk. You can leave comments on the blog or here if you like. It's easier to just look at the post than having to cut and paste stuff here. Especially since the blog post has pictures.
I'm not changing anything on the list at this point, so this is more of a list for anyone looking to get ideas. My husband and I are both very experienced backpackers and the items I chose are based on what I know works for ME. There are things on the list that some will like and others will hate. I also didn't include the items that my husband is carrying like the tiny ultra-light camping stove and Titanium cup to make me soup or whatever. He's insisting and that's that. I may have left out some minor things like reference to a guide or my passport, etc. Stuff that I normally carry on international trips. But if you think that I should add them for the sake of newbie readers, then please tell me. Thanks in advance for anyone who provides positive and friendly feedback.

Ponchos are like walking in a sauna. But some people really like them. A waterproof rain jacket and pack cover is all we've ever needed. Even backpacking in Nepal during the beginning of monsoon season. Nothing got wet. So what if the pack straps get wet. I've never found that a problem. But newbies seem to worry about that.Have you hiked much in the rain skirt? Sounds like a cool product and I am wondering if it makes more sense than the poncho I planned to bring. Have a good rain jacket and pack cover. Also will be bringing the Purple Rain hiking skirt, so looks appealing to pair with that.

Thanks for your list of essentials. It is always interesting to learn what others need. I leave Oveido on th 9th May to start the Primitivo by myself. My 83 year old father will be ahead of me.

I list the weight of my pack in the blog. Just shy of 13 lbs without water. I plan to carry 2-3 liters of water in my bladder since it's going to be very hot for me while I'm there and I drink a lot of water when I carry a pack.Hi Alaskadiver,
I love your list. I had never heard of a rain skirt and am now looking in my wardrobe with the same idea as Irishgurrrl!
Could you tell me where you got your shorts, are they for sleeping in? I have been looking for a while now and am unable to find something cosy, in a cotton material, (something like a man's boxer shorts only for a woman's fit?)
Also what weight is your pack?
Thanks
I noticed that in the weather updates I've been looking at. Very hot (for me) too. Thanks for the "on the ground" assesment appreciate it!I've just been in the north of Spain and if the weather conditions continue you'll not need any wet weather gear! Still got to carry it tho! Enjoy. I hope to walk the Primitivo, possibly next year.

I haven’t heard of anyone having this problem. Are you viewing it on a computer or phone?alaskadiver, I was trying to read your blog, but couldn't seem to get rid of the panel on the left that wouldn't allow me to see the whole page. Is there a way to get rid of that?
There is no way for the end user to get rid of it. It is part of the design of the page. I just viewed it on my iPad and it was fine after I resized the main content part. Pinch and zoom in on the context section. You might have your iPad set up for larger text. But I could easily see the page in full. If you can get me a screen capture it will help me figure out what the issue is.Curiosity sent me to have a look. I too see the panel but not how to get rid of it. I am viewing on an ipad. I will have another try. Images look so impressive!
Still the same.
And by the hokey, your attention to detail is, as my Canadian family members say, awesome! A wonderful resource.
Thanks for that, but you know, it’s not essential, a flick every so often isn’t the end of the world. Have to run, being collected now to attend a meeting.There is no way for the end user to get rid of it. It is part of the design of the page.
