In case anyone is curious about what I’m packing in my backpack for the Camino Primitivo, here is the complete list. I’m aware that I could still cut quite a bit of weight. We decided to take a tent because we like sleeping outdoors. Anyone who prefers a traditional pilgrim experience can certainly save quite a lot here. The sleeping bag could be lighter, and the sleeping pad, tarp and footprint could be left out entirely. The power bank could also be smaller if you can charge every evening. Some of the items are a bit bigger or heavier because they are for my girlfriend and me.
On top of that, I carry about 800 grams of electronics for my camera, but that is important to me personally. A somewhat clearer version than the attached table can be found here: https://lighterpack.com/r/peik8i
