The TRUTH about Overpacking | Full Packing List for Camino de Santiago

[@kathrynmotlow5892]

This was great! And so fun to see you! Love the fact that you can lose 10 years with the cap turned backwards....I am going to try that and see how I feel LOL. I love how streamlined your packing is. I always was aiming for 10% but now....7% woohoo!! Big love to the three of you!

[@PhillShaddock]

Still working on getting it down to a good weight. I will repack GAIN tonight and see where I am at!! Thanks guys for all your help

[@ramoneortiz]

Great video. Great information.

[@caminotellers]

Thanks for sticking around for entire video, it was long but we couldn’t talk with less details! Impossible ☺️🧐

[@ramoneortiz]

@@caminotellers I think the length was just right. You provide a lot of information that answers a lot of questions. I shared it with my Whatsapp group that I created for our upcoming October trip.

[@terryspeyer7430]

Great video, even though I don't over pack, there have been little tips to take into consideration! Very best wishes and love you guys.

[@caminotellers]

Thank you! Hope you are well Terry 💙

First time I went to Palencia and I was trying to buy my camino house I was totally paranoid I would lose my passport. I have since overcome that fear. Great video. I have that Colopaxi bag in a different color and it worked great in Paris a couple of weeks ago!! I felt very safe with it.

Can you explain how you use the quilt in the albergues where the have the plastic matresses? Do you need an extra liner? Is it open on the top or underneath?

[@AnaSILVA-lj7fv]

Thank you .

[@giovanbattistafichera8439]

LOL that downhill you used trekking poles for on the primitivo I actually ran with a 7kg backpack on last year. It was so much fun! :D My first camino was great! Can't wait to do del norte! Keep it up, guys!

[@caminotellers]

Lol, running that hill… the age is on your side! When will you walk Del Norte?

Great video. After previously getting down to less than 10% of body weight, including snacks and water, just at REI last week talking to an associate about further cutting weight. The 7% goal is an excellent standard.

[@caminotellers]

Good stuff! This is when you you realise what is Essential to enjoy! ☺️

[@treblaonai]

I get the Eno antacid for heartburn, indigestion and upset stomach, but I'm not sure I understood why the active charcoal?

[@kenthompson5758]

Thanks Ricky, I learned after my first camino the important question why am I taking that stuff!!! I was 6.3kg with bag. The last ones I was 3kg. Pretty much the same as you. Had silk sleep sack, toe socks in my sock system...stopped a blister at top of a toe, used vicks on feet most days and had 160g umbrella disposable poncho and rain jacket. Like you said everything has to have multi use...I used shampoo for hair, clothes and showers. The only thing I am taking extra on top is a nail brush... weighs 30gm and can clean my shoes 👞. Interesting sleep quilt looks technical and extensive. My backpack was 680gms with a frame. Great vid as always big hugs and live life large. Hope you get to do the VdP...maybe you can take the fur baby.

[@caminotellers]

It’s a great result 3kg! It changes the way we enjoy the Camino- we actually enjoy it! ☺️ thanks for good Vibes 😎

I carried a 6.5 kilo pack excluding water and food. I quickly found out that apples and bananas are HEAVY. I ate those quickly if I carried them for snacks. I’d take a sleep sack instead of a sleeping bag and not take a power bank either.

Hi! What brand is the sleeping quilt?

I did get that Wongari blister wool previously and I must say it works wonders :-)

[@caminotellers]

Simple but effective!

[@Jonhdoe78]

My backpack was at 7kg. I could reduce the weight for the next time. But as you said, depends on the time of the year. For summer 5kg would be more than enough. I recomend to take only the necessary food and water for the day. And for the electronics only one power brick but with a few usb connections.

[@caminotellers]

Great tips! Thanks

[@Walitocamina]

Muy bien explicado. Por mi parte estoy haciendo transición a lana merino en calcetines y camisetas para el próximo marzo en vía la plata. También cambiaré calzado a Hoka Speedgoat (algo parecido a lo que usas tú). Por otra parte quiero cambiar el saco de dormir por algo más ligero pero no lo he decidido aún. Un saludo de otro “ginger”

[@caminotellers]

Ginger Power! Gracias por estar Camigo

[@LaurenSheldrake]

Who makes your sleeping quilt?

[@MalindaTamlyn]

Zpacks made the quilt and the second pack. USA company.

[@caminotellers]

Zpack - few links in the description

[@caminotellers]

The bag too, and the small bag for the toiletries

[@Maryann110]

Why do you carry a larger liter pack for longer walks if you’re packing the same items?

[@MalindaTamlyn]

Because that pack is half the weight of the other pack.

[@Maryann110]

@ Then why not use the lighter pack for all caminos? Not judging just curious.

25:00. Я одразу таку ковдру купувала. Але в мене їх дві: ліва та права. Можна їх замкнути разом у двоспальну ковдру. Ми з чоловіком любимо виїжджати на природу з наметом. Тому такі ковдри нам дуже зручні. І так. Вони романтичні)))))

Привіт. На жаль, в Україні неможливо придбати вовну меріноса. Може десь на шляху є? Стартую цього року з Франції.

[@caminotellers]

Many options on Amazon…

[@OlhaPolishchuk-u9m]

Намагаюсь зменшити вагу рюкзака. Але в мене одна річ не хоче зменшуватись: ноутбук) В тому році він був 1,7 кг, в цьому придбала 0,9 кг. Все інше по мінімуму: також пірʼїнка куртка, футболка з фактором 50 (до речі, це моя на риболовлю))), штани трансформери, щоб не брати окремо шорти. Замість флісової кофти в цьому році вирішила вдягнути тренінгову тонку зі штучним пухом. Мене лякає погода в середині квітня в Піренеях. Ніяк не вирішу, чи тягнути пончо, чи взяти куртку, яка не промокає десь години три.
