- For a man the bag should not be more than 13 kg. For a lady, not more than 11 kg.
And if you walk in group you can divide common équipment ( guidebook, medecine, sewing necessary, etc...)
- In winter it will be slightly heavier ( warmer clothes, warmer sleeping bag, survival blankett, etc).
- In middle season you must think that it can be cold or warm.
- Think about using the post office to send ahead of you all that is not necessary at the present time.

- It is forgetting you should have now a simpler life and, probably you will not need all that you would like to take. If you are pilgrim, don't forget that Providence will take care of you.

- Some one are able to go with... nothing, or almost nothing. They must be very faithfull. But,don't become parasite.

- Some ones think they are very guilty, and carry a bag in consequence. Sometimes they put à stone in. In Spain, they will drop it down at the "Cruz de fero" (steel cross). Tradition says that we put down there our sins just like the stone we carried. Watch out, may be pride was also in this heavy bag !

- Sometimes, not only for them, but to give all along the way to poors, churches, etc. Nice ! But discretion first.
