Our Lightest Piece of Gear?

Before anything goes in the pack, we ask three questions: Do we really need this? Could we buy it along the way if we're wrong? Is there already something in the pack that can do the same job? Because... After thousands of Camino miles we have found the lightest piece of gear? Well, it's the thing we decide NOT to bring. That's it — that's the whole system, and it's the single biggest thing that's kept us walking 500-mile trails in our 70s. It's a simplicity mindset, and it works whether you're headed to Spain or your next long trail anywhere in the world. #LongDistanceWalking #PackingTips #CaminoDeSantiago #WalkingAfter50 #activeaging ────────────────── 📌 Subscribe for weekly Camino stories, walking + longevity science, and practical pilgrim guides. 📬 Questions?
