Thanks. Impressively light packing.

[@NickLivingLife]

I’m very glad to help 😊

[@mikedevere]

Great info. Thanks Nick. I'll look for a t shirt like that 😊

[@NickLivingLife]

Just realised I’m wearing exactly the same T shirts this year. I do have others at home, honestly! 😂😂

Thanks for Sharing 😊

I’m really happy to help if I can 😊

[@ianto8823]

It was a pleasure meeting you on the trail. Watching this to see how I can prep for next time. All the best, Ioan

[@NickLivingLife]

You too my friend. I hope you raised lots of money too 😂👍

[@dmwl09]

Great video! Thank you!

[@NickLivingLife]

You are very welcome. I’m so happy to try to help 😊

The silk and merino wool is a fantastic combo, but I do have a better choice. Northern Playground Hoodie, same materials, not cheaper, but lifetime guarantee on repair, and its a sun hoodie.

[@NickLivingLife]

That sounds like a winner. Can’t argue with a lifetime guarantee. Thanks 😊

[@dominicniemeijer2948]

small tip: buy a packliner for €3, they weigh around 27grams and keep everything nice and dry (Waymark has a very durable one)

[@NickLivingLife]

Thanks Dominic. I have Nylofume liners for shorter trips, but I find I’m too clumsy to not damage them for something longer like a Camino. I used to use rubble sacks too but thought since I get a pack down to about 4kg now I can manage a couple of little luxuries. I’ll look into the Waymark one though. Thanks very much. 😊

Great video and do helpful. Thank you. Would you suggest the del Norte in April/May be approx same?

[@NickLivingLife]

Hi Tracey. If I was doing the Norte again I would go a little bit later (May/June) so that more places are open for coffee / breakfast etc. it’s still lovely in April/May but it’s a bit before the season starts properly. 😊

thanks a lot, all the best from slovakia

[@NickLivingLife]

Thanks for watching Jozef. Slovakia, Wow, I would love to do the High Tatras one day. 😊

[@jozef322]

thanks a lot for good info,, im starting my firt camino trip in 3 week in april,,any advice?

[@NickLivingLife]

The main thing is walk some before you go, go easy for the first few days when you get there, take your shoes off whenever you stop for a coffee to let your feet cool, pack as light as you can as you need less “just in case” items than you think, take ear plugs, wish everyone you pass a Buen Camino and have yourself a Buen Camino. 😊

@@NickLivingLife thanks a lot for info:) omnce if u in slovakia let me know for info and travel tips:_)

[@NickLivingLife]

Thanks very much. 😊

[@christinae30]

Really interesting when people evaluate during their trip! PS no need for background music, just makes it "noisier"

[@NickLivingLife]

Thanks Christina 😊

[@hilarymac3706]

Great video - it has made me rethink my already packed backpack. Can you give me the merino silk T-shirt brand name again please

[@NickLivingLife]

It’s called klattermussen. Merino/nylon and merino/polyester are also great. They would need washing every few days instead of every week but will dry slightly faster. I like the mix to be about 70% merino approximately

[@user-lc1ke6hd7z]

would you mind to share the brand and model of your merino wool and silk Tshirt? thank you! great videos!

[@NickLivingLife]

Happy to. It was from a Swedish company called Klattermussen. I’m not sure if they still make them. I’m currently using a cheaper merino / polyester blend from Decathlon which is surprisingly good for the cost (about €40). 😊

[@user-lc1ke6hd7z]

thank you! @@NickLivingLife

Thanks 😊

How did you carry you backpack in to the plain?

[@NickLivingLife]

I got an extra legroom seat (£10) with easy jet which includes slightly bigger hand luggage 😊

[@ronaldautry7798]

What about rain gear?

[@NickLivingLife]

Hi Ronald, they are featured at 13 minute 15 seconds into the video :)

[@ronaldautry7798]

Sorry, I don't know how I missed. I guess I'm watching lots of videos and they're becoming a blur. Thanks. This has been very very helpful. Very helpful. Starting in couple of weeks. Most afraid of cold and rain in October

[@NickLivingLife]

Unless there is freak weather, it doesn’t get too cold in October but rain is likely especially towards the end in Galicia (the end just feels a lot like England to me). Many pilgrims choose a poncho, but I prefer a jacket as it’s something I can also wear in an evening if I am exploring the town, eating and I want an extra layer of warmth. This year I used a rain kilt rather than waterproof pants and preferred it. There is another video with this year’s pack on my channel, along with videos with a LOT of rain on Camino del Norte. The last few weeks before you go are the time where you will get nervous and be tempted to start packing extra things “just in case”. Try to avoid that temptation and keep your overall pack weight down…that’s the most important thing. I wish you a beautiful Buen Camino 😊😊

[@ronaldautry7798]

@@NickLivingLife trying to chill. Trying to remember if I need something I can get it there. Right now in process of removing items. Lol. Thanks for your reply. Oh, and I guess the weather is going to what it's gonna be.

[@geoffgray641]

The sleeves on your shirt are a little short, huh?
