Love concept "take what you need to be comfortable " so often I find many posts they feel like they are speaking down if you need an item they don't. Don't over packaging is important, but if you need something pack it, no one person owns the right to say you can or can't bring something.
The crazy logistics of the flights out of the us seems to be the trickiest part
It’s not terrible, but that is definitely the hardest part. Let me know if I can help!
Yeah, you should take what you need to be comfortable, but it’s way comfortable to have less weight on your back than more weight. Many people ditch the Camino after getting debilitating blisters. Not fun. Not comfortable. And one way to reduce risk of blisters is to lower your pack weight (lots of other things to do to avoid blisters, but that’s a big one). Go as light as possible with what’s in your pack and keep in mind that Spain is a civilized country and you can buy what you need, when you need it. Don’t bring extra stuff ‘just in case’. Pack for warm weather, colder weather and rain. That’s it. Then add some hostel stuff, like a towel hostel shoes. Make sure you by the lightest versions of items, like a lightweight battery charger, or travel toothpaste instead of a giant new tube. All the little things add up. And on the Camino you’ll see lots of markers for people who DIED on the Camino. Mostly older people who had heart attacks. I bet a lot of those people would’ve been better off with a much LIGHTER pack, dare i say, ultralight. And I agree with the advice on here about training…and the training should include diet, because the more weight on your body, the more weight on your knees and ankles and feet, and again, the more likely you get blisters.
On your Camino, take pictures of what’s in the hiker boxes between Roncesvalles and Pamplona. You’ll see all the extra junk people brought along that they realized they didn’t need and isn’t worth the pain the knees, ankles, and feet. Valuable stuff that just gets dumped. Start off ultralight and ADD more as you go, buying what you need, when you really need it, rather than packing what you think might be ‘comfortable’. Train with your loaded pack and add at least one liter full of water to your pack. If that’s not comfortable for 20 km, then lighten the load.
1:18 i like your humor. you say "prepareness" and show a scene where you walking in a tshirt in the rain 😂
Hahaha. Tshirt has become my normal rain gear (as long as it’s above 50F!).
I need to try to embrace this mentality, Jeremiah... walking in the rain is still one of my least favorite things!! And I don't like when my clothing gets wet!@@CaminoGuide
thumbs up for you and a comment for the algorythm
You have no idea how much it helps!
Thankyou as always! You seem to be reading my mind! 😊
