- Time of past OR future Camino
- Plan to walk the Camino from St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela May - June 2016.
Currently putting the equipment list together for my Camino.
I've even found the actual weights to all of the products that I want to pack, however, the pack weight came out as 8.9kg including the pack.
So im looking at which areas to scale back on, or to forget about completely.
For now, forget all other equipment, im just focussing on water in this thread.
So I get to the water bladder on my list, and im wonder whether it's worth taking one.
The 2L water bladder weighs 150g + 980g of water at capacity, this is more than a kilo in addition to the rest of my pack.
So im thinking, do I really need one?
Should I take a 1L version instead?
Or, fill up on fluids at breakfast, and just take a 500ml water bottle instead, and buy bottles of 500ml water along the way?
I reckon over the course of an average day walking one stage to another I'd want to drink about 2 litres.
Any thoughts or ideas would be welcomed on the water issue?
