Men’s Ultralight Camino Primitivo Packing List | Camino de Santiago Guide, Spring / Summer

- Packing in this tiny 7-10 liter lumbar pack completely changed how I walk the Camino de Santiago. I hiked the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela - over 200 km in 11 days - in May 2023, and I absolutely loved it. Here's a complete list of gear I brought in my 7-10 L lumbar/fanny/hip pack and how I packed so light for my Camino.
This is my sixth time walking the Camino de Santiago, but my first time on the Camino Primitivo. I’ve walked all of my Caminos with an ultralight pack, but nothing like this one!

I’m so grateful about your honesty about the pros and cons of the lumbar pack.
Thanks. It’s a great idea but only if it fits what you want to bring.
Great idea I’ve done 2x Camino’s now Francis’s and the Portuguese coastal. I travel very light around about 6kg all in After watch your vid I am super excited as I have decided to give the lumbar pack a go on the premativo next year. Thank for the tip. Great vlogs
Awesome! Let us know how the lumbar pack goes. Buen Camino
Thanks for the kind words.
Good idea! I had been thinking of grabbing the Evadict 15l Trail Running vest from Decathlon and doing an ultra lite trip of two weeks. I live on the northern route and I see people everyday with crazy big backpacks. When they get sore feet they blame their footwear and never think it could be the weight they are carrying.
Hahaha we’ve been talking about doing the exact same thing. Ultralight packing (less than this!) and speed walking the route in two weeks. It’s about 55km a day. So funny that you’re on the same track.
Merry xmas 🤗 just to say i love your videos. Hope to see you in the camino soon.
Thanks so much for watching. We’ll be out on the Camino again soon!
Super smart way to do Camino, 100% agree with you on everything. I did my first Camino with a lumbar pack (Osprey) and it was not comfortable for me, but it's a GREAT idea. Nowadays I'm using an Osprey Daylight 20lt and I find it more versatile because after Camino I normally take a few days to travel around Europe and the Lumbar pack just don't do good in city environment. Congratulations on this great video!
Thank you! It's fun to hear another person tried the lumbar pack. 20L is a great sized bag.
Thank you for sharing, this is really interesting and encouraging me to minimize weight and volume. Your videos are always inspiring - and fun. ❤ Buen camino!
Thanks so much. It doesn’t have to be this small but less is usually more!
Love the "cookie pouch". Great idea :D
It’s the BEST.
I'm really impressed with this setup! I love my lumbar pack, though it's a larger one from Mountainsmith. But, I have the backpack version of your flex lumbar from Sierra Designs - the Flex Capacitor - and yeah, that flexibility is truly impressive. Definitely made some notes about some of the incidentals you brought, like your upgraded towel and the flat-pack sandals. Thanks for the great material!
Hey Lucas. Thanks so much. Yeah the Sierra designs lumbar pack is a GAME CHANGER. I can’t actually believe it works so well, but it really does. The new towel is fantastic. Excited to test the sandals more too. I actually tried the mountainsmith lumbar pack a while ago but it was just too big. It kept pulling away from my body. Smaller is definitely my preference. I’ve got to take a look at the Flex Capacitor bag though. Thanks for the tip!
This sounds like a rad idea. Might give it a try if I go for a third Camino
Thanks! It really really was. If you can streamline your gear it’s absolutely awesome and makes even long days a lot more enjoyable.
A lunatic drying off with a handkerchief. 😂 Funny stuff
Yup. Those days are over!
Great video! Do you use inserts or orthotics in your shoes or just the Altras as is? Also, how much bigger do you get your camino altras compared to your day to day shoes! Great content, thanks for posting!
Thanks. I just wear the Altras as is. No insoles or anything. I went true to size and it worked but it was right on the edge. Just bought another pair and went up half a size.
By far the craziest lightest pack I've ever seen for the Camino. Bravo 👏I'm assuming you will still be filming. Are you taking the DJI Pocket you had a while back, something different or is this so minimal you are sticking to shooting on iPhone. Or is Lainey carrying tech on her pack.
Haha thanks. It’s pretty teeny. I’m on the Frances right now and I’ve actually made it a little smaller during the hike! We’ve just been filming on our phones which works great and Lainey has added a small tripod to her pack which we use once a day maybe for a steady shot of us together. But yeah. Smaller is waaaaay better. Videos of our recent Camino coming soon!
Question for you guys....what do you bring with you on the trail for vlogging (e.g., mic, camera, selfie stick, etc). Thanks!
Great question. I (Lainey) usually carry our stuff since Shawn's bag is too small. We bring a tripod...and that's usually it. We brought a microphone on our recent Camino but only found ourselves using it a few times.
Tripod: amzn.to/3uEiQVm
Magnetic phone mount: amzn.to/3uPPZ0E
Rode Videomicro Microphone: amzn.to/47E7WO2
We film on our iPhones in 4K 24fps
👌🏼
What's the smallest Jetpack and/or Anti-Gravity device you guys recommend? I mean the lightest one... something that tic-tac thing the US Navy keep videoing over the ocean would be in awe of. Thanks.
Haha hey Billy. It’s classified. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
👍👍👍
Ohh- I gotta go look at Lanny's
Thanks for watching!
I can't stand wearing a lumbar pack. These were big in the nineties. Hurt my back.
They’re definitely not for everyone but I’m a big fan! The key is to keep it as light as possible.
