The Camino Packing List…<\/h1>\n

I think most first time Camino Pilgrims agonise a bit over their packing list.\u00a0 I certainly did!<\/p>\n

The advice from experienced Pilgrims on this great forum was invaluable: Camino de Santiago Community<\/a><\/p>\n

Only take what is essential.\u00a0 Try to take things that have a dual purpose. Take ‘light weight’ versions of things.\u00a0 You will feel every extra kilogram over the journey!<\/p>\n

I made the mistake of rushing out to buy things too early and ended up with a lot of equipment that I didn’t need or that was not appropriate.<\/p>\n

But I’m happy with what I have now.\u00a0\u00a0 Though I still expect to ‘ditch’ a few things in the early days if they\u00a0don’t work out to\u00a0be essential.<\/p>\n

Here’s my final list….\u00a0 No sleeping bag, as I don’t plan to use Albergues (communal hostel type accommodation)<\/p>\n

\"My

My Packing List<\/p><\/div>\n

I should explain….<\/p>\n

FSO = From the Skin Out.\u00a0 The total weight being carried including clothing that I am wearing.\u00a0 Thank you Doug Fitz for explaining this…<\/p>\n

It’s generally recommended to keep pack weight below 10% of body weight, so at 5.9% I think I’ll be OK.\u00a0 Lighter than most ….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
