There are about a million packing lists for the Camino online, and that may be understating it. They’re all pretty much the same, with variants for the route and the season. A couple changes of clothes, a backup pair of shoes, as few toiletries as you can get away with.
Reader, does it surprise you that I packed very few clothes but a whole bunch of toiletries?
We weighed our bags before we left, about 16 pounds each, although that doesn’t include the water we’ll need carrying or my Kindle which wasn’t in the bag yet. It doesn’t feel bad, honestly. But then, I’ve only schlepped my pack out the front door to the driveway and up the steps to the Castro Valley BART station, so it’s to early to tell. Maybe I’ll be able to shed some fears on the way. -Paula
