    Lightweight Bag for Checking in Backpack on Airline

    Backpack: UL vs. Structured vs. In-between

    ...SJPDP. My base weight varies from 4,4 kg. (light version) to 4,7 kg. (medium-rare) to 5,1 (full Monty). I am very undecided as far as the backpack is concerned. The options (regardless of the exact model) are: 1. UL (e.g. Kumo 36) - 580 gr. 2. Medium (e.g. Gregory Focal 38) - 1130 gr. 3...

    Packing list and shoes for October/November Camino Frances

    There is a lot of good package lists on the web. However, it seems that almost all are made for a Summer Camino with high temperatures and sunshine in mind. My question is. If I start by crossing the Pyrenees in mid October do I need hiking sandals (which many seem to be fond of) or should I...
