<font size=3>I haven't been yet, but I have worked at it and gotten my
pack down to 15 1/2 pounds without water. Water will add at least 3 more
pounds. I weigh 118 pounds myself. <br><br>

<dd>Hi friends, <br><br>
<dd>Question: what is the lowest backpack weight that a veteran peregrino would recommend for the Camino? I know that it should be as low as possible, yes, and that it should be relevant to a person's needs. Nonetheless, would anyone venture any ballpark figures? Thanks. <br><br>
