This will mean that instead of regular long hiking pants, I will do daily hiking in shorts or rain pants over them if necessary because of weather or cold.
Will look into these. They seem like a great upgrade from Nalgene bottles which are like 200 grams each and take huge space when empty.For what it's worth, do you know that these folding water bottles exist? I use these a lot on Caminos where the amount of water I want with me varies a lot between days.
I tend to avoid the store plastic bottles as my primary water source. Would like to keep daily water in a BPA free container.For water I usually buy several 500 ml plastic bottles of water in the first local shop. And refill them later on demand, depending on how much water I think I will need on the respective day.
Oh I understand that too ... for me it is just that I know that the rest of my life I avoid those, so a couple of weeks on a Camino will not make much difference to my health, but serves my urge to minimalismI tend to avoid the store plastic bottles as my primary water source.

I ordered some 700ml foldable plastic containers. carrying 3 of them should save me quite a lot of weight and pack space. thanks again!For water I usually buy several 500 ml plastic bottles of water in the first local shop.

12! Are you carrying a lot of camera or video gear?Wow..congratulations..a difference with my full rucksack of 12 kgs
Actually am carrying medical equipment and a travel CPAP machine!12! Are you carrying a lot of camera or video gear?
Looks fine to me, only question is how easy is it to pack in 24 L bag. Wrestling to get it all in a bag , in a dark room every morning will become a bit of a trial .I have done some Summer Caminos and I intend to go light with a small backpack. My list does not include some hygiene stuff that I will buy in Spain and deplete as I go forward step by step.
The current weather I have at home is more or less what it should be like in mornings before sunrise around Seville when I start in March next year. I have done a ton of testing with long daily walks in the last seven weeks. I expect the temperature to go up from near freezing before sunrise to 20-27 degrees Celsius in the afternoon near Seville, less than 20 degrees in Galicia.
