      Bob Howard replied to the thread Backpack size.
      Starting with a 40L in 2016, I am now down to a 24L--Osprey with the same robust shoulder and waist belt as their 50L+ packs. Maybe I've been able to get down to a 24L (and still have extra room) because I typically walk in June, so no sleeping...

      Bob Howard reacted to Camino Chrissy's post in the thread Option to ignore moderators with Like Like.
      I spend a lot of time on this forum as any "regular" poster would know. After finding it in early retirement, along with seeing "The Way", both were catalysts that inspired me to explore travel through the eyes of simply walking and find joy in...

      I just had my 90th b'day and I'm planning to do the Camino May 2025, if I'm still in good health. I walk a couple of miles every day in the hills and go to the gym, so if I take it easy on the Camino I think I can do it. I'm looking forward to...
