🥾Ricky, you just have a wonderful way to do videos and explain simple things with simple words. Loved it my friend.

[@caminotellers]

I try, sometimes it’s tempting to get philosophical on the socks choice- “socks or not to socks , this is the question!!” Hahah

[@Cantairi]

To add to your fantastic list; I bring 4 safety pins for hanging my wet cloths on a line or my backpack if they are not dry. I don’t agree with the ‘headlamp’. I think the ambient light from a phone is ample enough in most albergues. The majority of headlamp owners use them like a search light-very annoying at 5.00am. Water bottle or bladder? I have tried both on my 6 caminos. I now prefer the bladder and a very small water bottle. Finally I have just received my copy of your wonderful Camino Journal. I commend it to all taking on the Camino. I do believe it will have a life long after you complete the pilgrimage. My thought for the Camino; “there are on answers on the Camino, only questions-so what’s your question?” Buen Camino.

[@caminotellers]

fabulous! a great deal of wisdom and good vibes!

[@anitasimmons3599]

Thank you for such an in depth video. Definitely a poncho, I have not decided if it will be the IKEA poncho or my Six Moon Design Gatewood Cape. I really feel unprepared to go hiking without the Gatewood Cape which has been my shelter for almost 1600 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail... pared with an umbrella it can be shade for a nap, rain gear or even a shelter if I could not make the next hostel or if they were full like in the fall of 2016.. Thank you for creating this video. Bueno Camino.

Great video Ricky, we are reducing our weight for the May Camino! But not quite this light, LOL!

I m just not a big guy so muy cloths weight not too much ;) thanks Don!

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi Ricky & Erica! I already have a 40L backpack (with mesh support at the back), so I'll be using that. I've used it as carryon. It was allowed in flights, so no problem there. If I plan to bring carryon only, then I'll have to buy the walking pole & knife in Spain or Portugal. I think if I do the Portugues or Ingles routes, I won't need a pole since there's not much elevation gain. (at my fitness level now) I haven't done the Camino but I usually hike. Instead of flip-flops, I'll bring trek sandals, which can be used for hiking as well as for showers, walk to town, etc. I would also bring a small foldable day bag (preferably water resistant/ proof) so that you can put your clothes & towel there during showers (if you plan to stay in albergues). Also, an S hook, since some albergue do not have hooks in the shower stalls. Cheers!

[@caminotellers]

no need for the hiking poles, if needed you can always use a old tree branch! sometimes it might give you some additional impetum when walking, but for the terrain is not necessary! when are you planning to walk?

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

Thanks for the great video. Am an Altus Poncho person. At 340gr. this poncho fits nicely around your back pack, has sleeves and keeps everything dry, but also does not flap around on windy days. This is what so many people do not like about ponchos. It also means that dry bags and pack covers can be left at home. My full pack is 5.5-6kg. which does not include my water, but does include the weight of my metal water bottles. We need to stop buying water in those plastic bottles! We are ingesting millions of particles of plastic from these bottles of water sold in stores. Especially if you continue to use them day after day. They start shedding more and more each day, every time you unscrew the cap. Just think, if every pilgrim bought just one "returnable" bottle, this would be almost half a million plastic bottles last year. Most of them are not even recycled. As an older person, that liner does not look comfortable to me. The thought of needing to crawl in and out of it several times a night does not look like fun. Am keeping my sleeping bag.

[@caminotellers]

Super, Jo! Poncho people are everywhere, despite the brand- its a mindset 😉🤣

[@yodaami]

I travelled around Mexico for 5 weeks in the 1980s. It was my first ever adventure, from the UK, I hadn’t even really hiked or camped before. I carried a 40l backpack which wasn’t even full! Rinsed knickers and socks every night, and did a big wash on really hot days. Pleased that I was doing minimalism all those years ago. I’m tiny though, less than 5ft, so would be looking at carrying a 30l pack now in my old age!

[@caminotellers]

We would love to be travelling in Mexico in 80s , it mas have been an amazing adventure?!

[@yodaami]

@@caminotellers it was! We were naïve though and didn’t really think through the possible dangers. Two early 20 year old women. I got mugged on a bus in Mexico City. And we narrowly avoided something similar near the Guatemala border. But yes, we travelled on local buses and did hikes out from the towns, near Palenque, oaxaca, Merida and Chichen Itza. We scuba dived ( another first) off the Island La Isla Mujeres near Cancun. Saw some amazing sites. So glad to have experienced it in relatively safer times.

[@kitty_s23456]

Good luck! I hope you recover - physically & mentally. If you're not too fit, you can consider the Portugues or Ingles routes (if you haven't done so) - not much elevation gain. Walk with Efren has great vids on those. Good luck & safe travels!

In June you will need a good hat as it can get hot… my hat is from a Spanish company called buff, but I found one from northface, with the identical features that is actually on the promotion now in Reí -app.rockporch.com/prdlink/RcWNfvNiVp .

[@rhondaviau-caron3322]

Great video. Wonderful advice. What running shoes do you recommend. Also do you bring your own laundry rope.

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi. Some vloggers have recommended to bring laundry rope (usually nylon). If you will use albergues, you can tie the rope on the posts of the bunk bed (if you're on the lower bunk) to dry your clothes. Re: shoes, some use Altra lone peak, some Topo, some Keen. It depends on you.

[@caminotellers]

normally there are ropes or places to dry clothes in the albergues- washing tongs not! Anyways taking a small rope and a 2/3 tongs could be helpful... regarding trail running shoes, as @kitty_s is mentioning altras are common, merrel and hokas. but it all depends of your feet, so its better to go to the specialised shop to choose one that fits your needs. When is your Camino?

[@jeffreycrawley1216]

Elastic shock cord can be useful, Large nappy/diaper pins even more so; damp clothes pinned to your pack will soon dry out . . . if it's not raining!

[@jeffreycrawley1216]

A reasonable packing list for a warm weather Camino, well done. One thing I would caution against: putting all your eggs in one basket . . . Last year my nephew's lad went off to Thailand. Bought a, quite expensive, cross body sling and filled it with his passport, bank cards, travel documents and tickets, and when he wasn't using it, his iphone. Walked into a tightly packed market place with it on, walked out with it gone. Everything. Gone. In one fell swoop. The police said the strap was probably cut while he was being jostled. Nearly ruined the trip so beware - there are thieves and vagabonds even on pilgrim routes. Oh, and I vote for the Altus raincoat too (it's NOT a poncho folks, it has sleeves!)

[@rui_simoes]

Great advice! Thanks for sharing your nephew's experience. Cross-body bags are a popular target for pickpockets in crowded places, especially tourist markets.

[@caminotellers]

Great advice! Once I met a person in India who had the 3spots technique- in case he get robbed, he will have a second spot to keep money- which also the thief know, so he uses a third place with the most valuable items. But he didn’t tell me where…

Congratulations for the decision of the first Camino! The 20l backpacks aren’t made for long distance walking- their waist belts aren’t normally great! And when you add water and food, your weight can raise to 6kg- not a easy deal with a small backpack

Hi Rui! The best idea we can give is… don’t take lots of valuables with you. The less you have, the less you worry about loosing it. Sounds obvious but… the second advice is use the bags/pockets with zippers and locks. The third- don’t show that you have money… keep it low profile. Any other ideas 💡??

[@johnmcevoy4002]

sorry but my take after walking the Camino is that this narrative about pack weight is a bit overblown. My pack was 19 pounds and I added a few shirts along the way. The reason is that you get used to your pack weight (or at least I did). How you pack your backpack is much more important to me than weight. From a distance my view is that there are people who love to say I did the Camino with a 12 pound backpack , whatever!!!
