The ultimate classic: whats in my bag?

No Travel Blog could ever be complete without the clichéd Post about gear. I sometimes feel as if the Internet only consists of Gearlists and Videos about Gear and Ads for MORE Gear - but maybe that's just me because It's my primary focus lately.

It might seem like a lot but it actually fits very comfortably in my backpack and weighs only about 5.5kg. It's mostly the same gear I took on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2018. Usually one doesn't take a tent but I plan to sleep outside most of the time so I definitely need mine with me! Other than that it's pretty standart exept my Robe which is just a gag but actually substitutes for a jacket and fleece pullover.

The only pieces I took on my Camino back in 2013 are my Indiana Jones Bag, my Scallop and my little Shell necklace. Everything else I changed since then.

Well, on to pack everything together so I'm ready for tomorrow! Camino here I come!!!!
