5 kg!

That is what I shall be carrying! Am very pleased to have cut down the fat.

The final list of stuff I am carrying is the following:

1 knapsack
1 sleeping bag
1 set of walking poles (collapsible into three parts)
1 lightweight gore tex windstopper/rain jacket
1 hooded fleece (thin)
2 merino wool tops, long sleeved (lightest weight available)
1 tanktop
1 pair of travelling pants (which can be rolled up into shorts)
2 pairs of hiking socks
2 sets of underwear
1 travelling towel
1 pair of flip flops
1 pair sunglasses
1 hat
1 smartphone with detachable macro lens and charger
1 pair of walking boots

Toiletries and other supplies (toothpaste, toothbrush, sunscreen, face cream, ear plugs, eye shades, tiny sewing kit, two pegs for hanging clothes to dry, various anti/post-blister plasters, 2 painkillers, 10 anti-histamin tablets, 1 tube anti-bacteria cream to help prevent infection in minor burns and cuts, tiny vial of tiger balm, 1 jar of camphor gel to massage feet in the evening)

Luxuries (toothpicks, dental floss, some mints, small compass)

Am debating if I should also bring a pair of thin wool gloves (for the mornings), a pair of silk long johns and a scarf (to "dress up" in the evenings).

If I ask J-Lo, my camino companion, I think he will say he will carry these for me.
