MSo many good comments here. @Anniesantiago encapsulated much of what I experienced last year during my 3rd camino. Somewhere along the way (pun intended) the camino has morphed into something else...what, I'm not sure. Maybe covid changed us all...

Like.
I added even more comfort items to my pack this year, bringing it up to about 4kg. If i was to add my tent (~700g), a sleeping mat ( ~400g) and a warmer sleeping bag (add ~400g) and maybe a few hundred gramms of utensils for camping that would... -
