NEW Gear 500 Mile Test (Does It Hold Up?) - Camino de Santiago Loadout

[@Lizzybeth1973]

I used that same Aegismax bag on my Camino. It was fine. I don’t think you will need a liner, but if you’re set on taking one, then I would get it treated with permethrin (bed bugs are a thing.) In fact, I would go ahead and treat your backpacks with permethrin as well. Also, just remember that you are walking from town to town through a first world country, not the wilderness. You don’t really need a bunch of “stuff” as you can resupply nearly everywhere. I never needed to take a “wilderness break” so a poop kit was not needed. Buen Camino…ultreia et suseia!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Buen Camino!

Great video! Make sure to check your hiking poles when you fly. They'll definitely get taken away once you get to Europe (has happened to us and many people we know). All the albergues have pillows (that are usually pretty nice as far as hostels go). We both brought pillows on our first Camino Frances and didn't use it a single time. Maybe only bring one pillow for your legs. As far as poo kits go, just a shovel, toilet paper, and a ziplock for dirty paper is sufficient. You're never more than an hour or so from a town so you can clean up more/dispose of the paper when you get to town. Bring some kind of laundry soap for hand washing laundry. We like Dr Bronner's bar soap or solid laundry sheets. We live pretty close to Santiago. Give us a shout if you want to meet for a celebratory beer or vermouth. Buen Camino!!!!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Appreciate all the great info 😃

[@rickmc73]

Have a great time! Good luck with weather and all the things that can go your way or be a little frustration.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thank you! Will do!

[@musingwithreba9667]

treat your sleep systems and packs with permethrin to ward off the bed bugs! Buen Camino! 😊

[@JeremiahStringer]

Good tip!

[@DryBonesOutdoors]

Hope you guys have an amazing trip and praying for safe travels. I am slowly falling in love OV products!!! Apologies for missing the live podcasts I’ve been working second shift but I’ve been watching the recordings. I ain’t trying to miss a good poop story.

[@JeremiahStringer]

What up Rooted Vagabonds?! Hope all is well. Trip was great 😊

[@sundaymorninghikes6275]

This was great! I'm excited for you for this trip! I love the OR Echo hooky! You got me thinking about losing the Zploc! That Osprey kit looked awesome I'll follow along on IG as well!

[@JeremiahStringer]

They make some great stuff

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Great video. That rain jacket by Outdoor Vitals looks amazing. Crow

[@JeremiahStringer]

I love it!

[@augustoghisleni961]

I walked the Camino in 2019. Take your umbrella, and don’t forget ear plugs to use in the albergues. Buen Camino

[@JeremiahStringer]

Both worked out great

[@timothyh.1460]

Looks like your base weight is going up. I suppose that will be OK since you will be in towns at hostels every night. Word to the wise from a friend of mine who is on the Camino right now. Make your sleeping arrangements ahead of time. The hostels and hotels are filling up by mid-day. Have a great pilgramage!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thank you

[@nickname6747]

Definitely take the umbrella for uv protection and will reduce the amount of sweat and water you carry. Good luck on the trip, guys. Enjoy Spain.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Umbrella did great

[@a.ramosakadrumgrl6677]

I have the same pants as your wife and love them. I even bought shorts in the same style too!

[@JeremiahStringer]

They worked great

[@tonyabrowninghikes]

Best of luck on this exciting adventure. Can't wait to follow along!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thanks so much!

[@LWilli5]

Happy and safe travels.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thank you

[@mfarley252]

I’m saving up to do this next year!! Buen Camino!

[@JeremiahStringer]

You can do it!

[@DaveOffGrid]

You guys look well prepared! Go kill it Jeremiah and Bridgette!!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thanks Dave

[@obristimagery]

OV is amazing! Love their pants and sun hoodie!! Have a great trip!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thank you!!

[@kimrobb1965]

Have a wonderful trip!!!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thank you!!

[@pappytrails]

you guys are adorable!! have fun! I've been enjoying the Camino vicariously through this book: "I'll push you" by Patrick Gray and Justin Skeesuck. Highly recommend.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thank you 😊

[@timothybryant649]

One tip you may want to think about is putting the zippers all the way down. If you happen to go through brush it will not catch and unzip tour pack. You are going to love the OV Satu pants. I wear mine daily, to work and around town. Jeremiah you may want to look into a pair of Satu for yourself. Enjoy your trip. Stay safe.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Never would have thought of that. Good one!!

[@cimarronwoo]

¡Bien Camino! Vaya con Dios

[@kriswibbenhorstermeister9885]

A mirror is a great tool beyond seeing oneself in. Start fires, signaling, looking around corners without putting your head into a potential crosshairs situation… this list goes on. Be careful and have fun

[@JeremiahStringer]

Well said!

[@PierreFarrugia]

Nice , enjoy if you are coming to Malta 🇲🇹 , let me know. Doing with her interests me cause I might take Sharon too.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Will do!

[@markperry222]

Suggestion. Make sure your chargers for phone, iPad, etc are compatible with 240 volts. If not, then you will need to buy some new chargers at the first supermarket you come to when you arrive in Spain. You could buy transformers before you leave, but they will be expensive and heavy.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Good thinking

[@jott1883]

You are going to have a lot of fun! I want to do that someday. I was hoping that I could just use one of those cheap and very lite electrical gender changers, that I usually throw out, which comes with some of my cell phones. I checked all my USB cubes and they all appear to make 5 volts DC from 100-240 AC @ 50-60 Hz. Least I hope it would work that way...

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thank you 😊 It was awesome

[@sheilasunshine9173]

Am I the only one that Hates those crinkly sounds those bags make?! 😅 It’s cute how excited the Wifey is to go on this trip! Love her!

[@JeremiahStringer]

It is annoying lol

[@scooterdmc]

That bag liner is going to make you no friends if staying in albergues. After 2 caminos I promise you that noise in the mornings while you pack is going to piss people off.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Did the Camino a year ago. Didn’t have to use the bag liner. Used luggage transport everyday

[@bradleyenglish-h9w]

Go stringer!!!!!

Roger that

[@lampshaderoof]

Remember to use that sunblock. Ouch! Put some aloe on your nose.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Sun block for the win

[@stevewright2241]

You know you might want a nicer outfit for going out at night to a nice restaurant.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Good point there

[@michaelpaciorek4068]

im surprised you can fit all that in 45L bag

[@JeremiahStringer]

Easy peasy 😃

[@150F2011]

Jason sure is going to miss you😢

[@JeremiahStringer]

Lol he survived

[@gordonblock9952]

Buen Camino, Perrigrino y Perrigrina! CUT your gear in half! You will find a village every 10 to 15 km! The Alberques (hostels) and Villages will have everything you need. Everyone's Camino is Different! I am excited for your both and will be following you! P.S. Toilet Paper is a must! Your Camino will provide! Do not pack your fears, you leave your fears on the Camino. Again, Buen Camino!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thanks for the tips!

[@patrickgulden7288]

If your pack is more than 8-10% of your body weight, then you overpacked. It’s an urban not wilderness hike.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Agreed

[@jaybird1269]

Has anyone heard from Jeremiah? It's been a month since his last video. Are they still out on the Camino?

[@JeremiahStringer]

Back from the Camino 🙌 Working on a new video 😃
