Gear

This is a page to track the gear I think I'll need for the Camino. At the suggestion of a reader, it will include the source and cost for each item to help those who may chose to use this as a guide. It's a "living page" and will be updated as I think of new items, or acquire them.

My goal is to keep the total weight to less than 7.5kg (about 16-17 pounds).
