backpack & packing

Hi everyone, Is there a recommended (fairly ultralight) packing list for a 22 septembre start from Le Puy to Cahors? Many thanks

Heyy! How many litters backpack did you have? I’m thinking Deuter 30l or 36l. What do you think? Some people say 30l is completely enough and some wish they would have little more space…

I am wondering on personal preference out there. For the full Francés route next summer, I will either buy the Osprey Stratos 34L or the Osprey Exos 38L. Would you prefer 34 or 38L? Anyone have experience with these packs? My budget maxes out at $225, if there are other ideas. In case it...

Hi. I'm planning my CF next May/June from 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...

Hi everyone, I am leaving for my Camino in 3 days on Oct 19th. I am flying to Paris, training to Bayonne and then SJPDP and will start walking on the 21st. I am hoping to get a final review of my packing list, bookings, and plan to make sure I am not missing anything or making any mistakes...

I am leaving my island next week for a short trip to Quebec City, my home town and I will have a look to the MEC Serratus 40, seems interesting, has anybody tried it ? https://www.mec.ca/en/product/6026-801/mec-x-serratus-pace-ul-40-pack-unisex

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...

The first step is to take inventory of your belongings. You may already have some of these items at home. Remember these helpful tips to avoid common pains. Waterproof: Waterproof Shoes, Waterproof Socks, Waterproof Pants, Waterproof Jacket with a hood. Fiver finger socks are to be worn...

After my first Camino, I made several adjustments to my packing list for this year in the hope of being more efficient. Here’s a breakdown of what I changed and why: Lighting: Last time, I didn't bring a torch, thinking my phone's flashlight would be enough. Unfortunately, it wasn't bright...

Hi y'all! Getting ready to start the Camino in one week! I'm so excited :) would love it if you could please review my packing list for September/ first bit of October. I wanted to see if there's anything you would add or take away--due to weight, necessity, weather, etc. Wondering specifically...

Out in the woods - somewhere on the Camino Invierno

Good evening everyone, I could not find a generic thread on packing list. The one being discussed these days, it has been pointed out to me, is only related to Camino Frances, so I thought to create a generic one. I apologize in advance if - as I guess.. - I am duplicating something existing...

Good Morning! My first Camino was 2023 on el Norte and it was fabulous! I am now inspired to travel this mode until my body says to stop. So September 20ish I will begin the Camino Portuguese from Porto after a few days in Lisbon. This year I will be better organized based on what did and...

I have the Osprey Hikelite 26 with the trampoline back and piddly hip strap (I wouldn't call it a belt). My torso is just over 15" and it's too long for me. I've tried on dozens of packs, talked with numerous experts at REI, and test driven six different packs. Due to my body proportions (I...

I have read I think every single thread here but I am afraid that the backpacks that I have access to here in Europe are not that common in the UK and North America and vice versa, so here I am, asking for advice since I did not find much about them in the forum. I have my packlist ready...

Hello, I want to make El Camino from SJPDP (Plus a few days in Portugal and Finisterre) with only one backpack. I am thinking of purchasing the Osprey Aether Plus 60, is it a good option? Or what alternatives can I consider? Greetings

Hi all! I'm doing the Portuguese Coastal Camino at the end of August to beginning of September. I'm currently trying to compile an equipment list. Is there anything you'd recommend taking? I have a pair of shorts that have two layers to them - will this be too warm to wear? Thanks!

Hey all! Having rabbit holed many, many packing lists, I'd love y'alls feedback on my packing list - https://lighterpack.com/r/p6hm36 For context, I'm 49, medium experienced hiker, weigh 200lbs. I've done a number of training hikes carrying 20lbs over the past month. I'll also be hiking with...
