  My 2L water bladder weighs 165 gms. My 2 x 1L bottles weigh 50 gms. Though to be fair in comparison, my drinking tube weighs 70 gms. I just 'pop' in the mouthpiece and drink :cool: It's not so much about the weight. Though bottles are lighter...

  Hello Emma, i usually only pick one post to read per day. Your post was my choice for today. Having said that, I was an introvert, working from home before COVID was a thing, caregiving for my Mom until her passing. The Camino called to us both...

  Thank you for trying to save our dear friend Michael's life today. I think it is him you are referring to. We are in shock and will miss him massively. He was a remarkable man. And he died doing what he loved. Rest in peace dear Michael.

  We were about 45 minutes from O Cebreiro today and we came upon a group performing CPR. We called emergency but no ambulance came and over an hour later a helicopter showed up but it was too late. I don’t have any details beyond that but it...

- MichelleElynHogan replied to the thread 34 or 38 L pack.
  
  Someone mentioned loading up both pack sizes with 10 kg of goods and see how that fits and/or works for you. I have not seen in this thread so far, is the smaller the pack the better. Because the smaller the pack, the less you can carry. And, as...
