Like many people on this forum, I am always looking for ways to lighten the load in my backpack. Back at the time of my first Camino I remember people suggesting that I cut the labels out of my clothes as yet another way to reduce pack weight. So, my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to see for myself how much difference it would make if the labels were removed from my gear. Not much it turns out (see attached picture).

I suppose if I'm really serious about moving less mass down the trail, I'll cut back on my consumption of chocolate and almond butter.....:eek::eek::eek:....time to go cut the handle off of my toothbrush.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
