i spend a lot of time weighing my kit in preparation
to get it below 6kg
?or is it 10% of my body weight
.
?how can i lessen the load i carry in my head
?how can i start the camino with the minimum mental baggage
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Go hiking in the Helderberg reserve, Silvermine and Noordhoek Peak.
On each hike, take a pebble with you that represents mental baggage.
Rub all your cares into the pebble as you hike.
When you get to the cave - or the lookout - leave the pebble there.
This will prepare you for the camino!
