Post Camino Pack List. What would I still bring, and what would I leave behind?

I thought I would share what I brought on my most recent Camino, the Camino del Norte. I chose to pack as light as possible for two reasons; to carry less on my back, and to simplify my experience.
My all-in dry weight (excluding extra food and water) pre Camino was 14.3 pounds (6.5kg), and my dry weight post Camino would be 13.5 pounds (6.1kg).
Everyone’s Camino is their own personal journey. My pack and its contents worked well for me, but they may not work well for others. Whatever one chooses for their Camino is the right choice for them.
I am so thankful to have been blessed with another wonderful journey.
(You will see that I used a plastic water bottle on my Camino. I am not a fan of plastic water bottles, but I find I can use the same one for the duration of my Camino, and then reuse it afterwards as well.)

Hey there! Found your video by coincidence and I’m so glad I did! Do you mind sharing more on your Camino with celiac disease? I have so many questions like do you eat out in restaurants on the trail or did you cook? Could you resupply in supermarkets? And what about breakfast? And just in general how did you find gluten free food while on the trail? Maybe you would even like to do a video about it? I can’t be the only one with those questions 😅

Hi! You have asked a lot of great questions. I am new to making videos, this is my first one on my own. I will make another video within the next week or two, and answer all of your questions then. I agree that knowing what to expect with celiac disease on the trail would be beneficial. I hope you have a great day. Buen Camino! -Rosalind

@@MomentsMemories-wm5iv hey Rosalind, thank you so much for your answer! It was a great video and really helpful for me :) especially being newly diagnosed it’s still hard to figure everything out and it’s always great to know beforehand on what to expect and just get an overview!

@MomentsMemories-wm5iv 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much for your kind words. A new diagnosis of celiac disease can be quite challenging. I hope things go well for you, and you are healthy and well. Take good care, Rosalind

Hi, very useful video... Thank you 😊 What was in your first aid kit... Not your personal meds... The other stuff? X

@MomentsMemories-wm5iv 3 месяца назад

Thanks! Great question. I bring: Compeed- you can actually purchase a small pack containing several sizes in Spain Strip gauze dressings with tape on both sides that I can cut to fit ( I bought these at a pharmacy in Spain) Alcohol swabs Polysporin or other antibiotic ointment Needle to drain blisters (which I wipe with an alcohol swab prior to using) Tensor bandage, just in case I wore a tensor on one knee as it can be “unhappy” with descents Medical tape Small scissors Small tweezers The pharmacies in Spain are excellent, so you can top up any items along the way if needed. Buen Camino! Rosalind

The Altus rain poncho looks great from what I've seen, love that it has longer sleeves and goes on like a coat. Struggling to find them available either in store (Australia) or online - have emailed a few shops in Spain - great to start emailing in Spanish using Google translate then in English! We'd be starting in Le Puy so would need to get them sent to us. Doncha hate it when a great product goes out of stock...

@MomentsMemories-wm5iv 2 месяца назад

The Altus rain poncho is fantastic. I bought mine in Saint Jean Pied de Port, the morning I started the Frances. I stayed in a gite just down the road, and I was able to find the name of the store where I purchased it. The store is called “La Boutique du Pelegrín”, located at 32 rue de la citadelle. Their website seems to have a promotion on Altus ponchos. I’m not sure if they have any left, but you may want to email them. I love that you are starting in Le Puy. I would like to do that one day too. And I agree, Google translate is awesome! Good luck, and Buen Camino! Rosalind

@@MomentsMemories-wm5iv Great it is recommended - Altus actually responded today and said they are out of stock, manufacturing a new batch which will be available in around two months - so August by the looks of it, in time for Autumn walkers or us next year :)

@MomentsMemories-wm5iv 2 месяца назад

It’s great that Altus responded to you with an update. It’s good to know what’s up! 😊

What kind of sandals?

@MomentsMemories-wm5iv 3 месяца назад

Hi! Thanks for your question. My sandals were women’s Columbia sandals. I brought them because they are a lighter weight than Ecco’s and Tevas. My intention was to just wear them in the Albergues and in the evenings with socks. They ended up being pretty decent for hiking until I could buy my Merrell running shoes. I wore them with socks and they were very comfortable. They weren’t as good on the technical rocky areas, or in the mud, but overall they were good. I am extremely thankful I had them! Buen Camino! Rosalind

What is the empty weight of your pack and the weight after packing your supplies? You stated that all of the items "were light weight," but combined, they seem heavy!

@MomentsMemories-wm5iv 3 месяца назад

Hi, great question. I think my pack was around 2 pounds. The total dry weight including my pack, without food and water, was 14.3 pounds. My weight post Camino, taking out the additional items, would be 13.5 pounds. There are lighter packs available, especially one made by Z packs, but my pack works for me. Some people have less weight, but I was happy with the compromise of weight and what I wanted to bring with me.
