Camino de Santiago Gear List (New Pack)
video description
This is exactly what your audience wants to know. they are (I presume) people who have (our dream about) walking the long remote US trails.
You have very accurately listed all you need. plus a bit more. The Camino France's is a much more urban walk. You will rarely be more that an hour from something (a store, a town.
One thing I would suggest is an EU piggy-back plug/charger. If you see a plug (the only plug) you unplug the other persons charger, you plug in yours, then plug theirs into the back of yours (piggy-back. If you can't find a piggy-back charger, get a short EU power bar (all the China shops here have them. again, unplug theirs, then plug in yours and theirs.
I very much look forward to the after Camino video about what you should have/have not brought.
If we meet in Leon. I can run your through what I bring.

I heard Dixie say she was using Guthook Camino for her Camino hike. I just finished the Primitive Camino Route and found the app Way of Saint James (Buen Camino) is the most useful app to use on all the Camino routes. And it is also free! For Guthook users it is a little different and will take a little effort to rethink how to do things.
Waypoints on the Camino are basically little towns that can provide services. For my hike all the services listed for a town were right on including phone numbers, emails, and other information.
The best way to use the Buen Camino app is to make daily stage i. e. starting town and ending town. What is really odd about the app is when you want to know the distance to a given town you need to look at the town before and you will see the distance in the blue bar at the top.

If that chest strap is dyneema as opposed to say nylon, it's strong. You won't believe how dinky dyneema quick draws are for climbing, if you fall they save your life, supposedly.
Back in May I had all my gear stolen in Long Beach while attempting the Catalina Island trail. My money, I. D. ect. was strapped to my body, they didn't get that. This is the replacement phone! If it's any thing like Long Beach, be careful.
I prefer 2 slim 5, 000 mAh power packs with 2 wall chargers and small USB cords to one 10, 000 mAh pack, both charging at once saves time.
My replacement pack for the one that got stolen is 36L from Target. You people and your dyneema please. I'd use it for the PCT. In my dreams.

I took that pack on the AT this year. Didn't bother with the pad on the back. Some seams (hip pocket adjustment straps) were pulling loose by the end of the hike, as well as a seam in one of the shoulder straps, but otherwise made it through pretty intact. The padding in shoulder straps were flattened after a few months but didn't seem to matter. It's not really a waterproof pack like some others, due to openings where the hip belt passes through the main bag area. I found some wetness inside after a rain (with a pack cover used) which I believe entered through the side pockets. Pretty good deal considering the cost of the competition.

All you need on the Camino is 2-3 shorts. 2-3 t-shirts. Maybe a hoody and light rain jacket. Flipflops. Toothpaste, toothbrush, lush solid soap. Quick drying towel. Daypack for evenings to hold passports ect. Toiletries. Socks and underwear. Phone and camera/electronics Reusable water bottle. And that is all you need. Should not be more than 6kg. I have hiked the French way twice and have brought way too much on my caminos. My third time the above is all I will carry.

Looks like y'all set your selves up good gear wise.
Having walked the Camino Frances and Portuguese before, only thing I would add is that on the Frances there's lots of places to buy gear you need and in regards to trekking poles you can buy a pair really cheap there and avoid the hassle of trying to fly with them if you're a carry on luggage only traveler like me.

Hey Dixie! Loved your series on the Camino! I noticed you were carrying a Sony and wondered what lens(es) you brought? I'm training for the Camino and have wondered about taking my Sony A7riii vs maybe a a cell phone with a good camera. I'd like to take the Sony with me, but lens weight can be so variable that I'm not convinced on carrying it yet.

I am a member of ALDHA-WEST, the long distance hiking club that has the triple crown award, the academy award for long distance hiking. You applied for the award and I was there for the ceremony to honour the other recipients this year and was disappointed that you applied but did not think enough of the award to show up for it.

Hi from Australia! I am wondering how you transport your hiking poles on the plane/s from USA to Europe. did you check them in separately? We they inside your pack and you check in your pack but keep out a small carry on bag for your most valuable equipment?
