The Backpack! Perhaps the singe most recognizable symbol of the pilgrim. For this Camino, we both used Osprey backpacks. Nancy the Sirrus (pictured) and for me, the Stratos. Both are 35L packs and just the right size! We noticed many pilgrims along The Way with much larger packs carrying much more gear than we were. After my first Camino last year, I knew that I wanted to reduce the weight I carried. We ended up with a total weight of just 6.25 kg and that included our water. What a joy it was carrying a light pack! Check out our March 16 entry for a detailed gear list. To walk far, carry less!
