I’ve always packed light but this this takes the cake. I’d be surprised if the pack was more than 10 lbs. With convenience comes sacrifice, however, as only three shirts and two pairs of pants combined with 15 miles of walking per day won’t leave a necessarily pleasant smell.
Back row (top left to right) – clothes (two pairs of pants, three shirts, three pairs of wool socks, three pairs of underwear), fleece, First Aid kit, money belt, dummy wallet, Ziploc bags, misc. bag, passport, London map, Camino guides, journals, micro towel.
Bottom row (left to right) - Cubs hat, blister kit, Brazilian sandals, flash memory drive, pens, sunglasses, camera case, shirts, compass w/ LED, sewing kit, electrical adapter, wristwatch, ear plugs, wallet.

Well done Seth. I walked from Santander via Oviedo and Lugo end of April and all May this year. The only thing I took that you will not need in the heat was a sleeping bag. My tote was 7 kilos (plus water!!!) I will follow your blog with interest.

Thanks! I never did weigh my pack but it was probably around 5-7 kilos. I walked in April and May and the nights were cold but I never regretted not having my sleeping bag.
