Packing For Your Camino
The Backpack! Perhaps the singe most recognizable symbol of the pilgrim. For this Camino, my wife and I both used Osprey backpacks. For Nancy, the Sirrus, and for me, the Stratos. Both are 35L packs and just the right size! We noticed many pilgrims along The Way with much larger packs carrying much more gear than we were. After my first Camino last year, I knew that I wanted to reduce the weight I carried. We ended up with a total weight of just 6.25 kg and that included our water. What a joy it was carrying a light pack! Check out the website “Packing List” link for for a detailed gear list. To walk far, carry less!
