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.)
