Take what you know you will need, leave poles and knife at home and by it if you need them on the Camino. You just might not need themHi all, from what I have read it seems that there is plenty of opportunity to buy any clothing and equipment needed for the Camino in SJPP or along the way and I am wondering how costs compare with Australia.
I am a keen bushwalker and I already have all the gear I would need, however there is some hassle involved in transporting poles, pocket knife, first aid items etc. on an aircraft and I am thinking of just taking my pack and a few clothing items as carry on and buying the rest on arrival. Would this be cost effective?
cheers,

I’m also from OZ and I take a small back pack on board with me that has the things in it that I don’t want to lose medication, chargers, camera, e book etc and all the things that can easily be replaced if lost are in my checked in back pack. My poles fold down so as to fit in my pack. My pack is then placed in a back pack cover bag for protection and then when I arrive at Pamplona I stay there for 2/3 nights to get over jet lag and while there I post the things that I use to travel onto Ivar in Santiago for safe keeping and I then have them for my trip home. Ivar’s postal service is great. I’m also walking April/ May but I’m not sure where I will start maybe somewhere between St Jean and Pamplona.
Burn Camino judy
It's not really his (Ivar's the founder of this great forum and owner of Casa Ivar) postal service but luggage hold. Many people send their post Camino stuff directly to Ivar in Santiago via Spanish Post (Correos) and pick it up after arrival.What is Ivars postal service?
The mailing tube is the way to go.I’m also from Oz. I take all my gear from home so I can try ane test it out.
My pack is carry on size.
I only check in a mailing tube that contains my poles, liquids and small knife.
When I get there i’m Ready to go, with gear I am used to....
Thanks very much!sorry I gave Ivars luggage storage the wrong name.
Lisakline, if you go to forum search and write in Ivars Luggage storage you will find all the info you need.
Been Camino judy.
