OK. Now I know this might be a question that could be ask about any trip let alone one to a Camino. Ive done a few overseas trip in my life, but this will be the first time I have ever just taken a backpack.
So how does one assure that ones backpack arrives undamaged. By undamaged I mean, shoulder straps and any other straps are not accidentally ripped off. Most packs have a double zipper system so a small lock can be used to secure compartments.
I once heard that using heavy duty cling wrap to encase the pack and secure any loose strapping. And that some airports even had services for this, but once in your destination country, does this pose a kind of pain in the rear for customs workers who need to check ones bag?
Hope this doesnt sound like a stupid question, but its one Ive thought about.
Cheers
