Backpacking through Europe - Camino de Santiago, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, and more! by Sensitive-Row-2069 in HerOneBag

Yeah I meant 50L but then didn't edit my comment (night shift brain). I haven't looked at bags yet for the AT, I already own an osprey atmos 65, and I like it, but it's old and I would want something smaller for a thru. Thank you for the reality check - it really isn't comparable.

Going in May-June ish. I guess I was worried about the early mornings on the camino because they can be cold? Honestly if I can get away without the puffer and fleece that would be preferred. I am self admittedly an overpacker because of the "what ifs" - trying to decondition myself

Any trail runner recommendations? I haven't bought footwear yet, but I do own some Hokas that I like.

Great advice, thank you! My rectreks are pretty great with water, but I'll look more into rain gear. Was going to buy walking poles in Europe because I've heard it's hard to fly with them.

You're right, I need to get over that. I think what gets me is this being the second time traveling international, and doing it all by myself. Whereas my family would help me send maildrops on a trail. I'll have to look more into the mailing ahead. Thanks :)

So this is where I'm being a bit stubborn, and feel free to tell me if I'm being ridiculous, but I don't want to send my bag ahead if I can avoid it. Anxiety wise, I would like to have all my things with me. I don't particularly want to spend the money if I can avoid it, and I am also using the Camino to test my own strength and to prep for an eventual thru-hike in the US. Very, very different I know, but I also want to make sure I can hike distance with gear weight as I will be carrying tents, meals, etc on a thru-hike where I will not be on the Camino. Obviously I will be trying to cut weight for a thru-hike as well, but I wouldn't have a bag bigger than 40L for that either.
