Going as simple and light as possible taking inspiration from the camino pilgrims of old. Don't need "nice shirt" or closed shoes for dinners, pilgrims gets slack. Can use a blanket to stay warm while walking. I don't need second set of clothing to go out for the evening, I will wear my hiking clothing. I do have to bring something to wear when I wash hiking clothing / sleep in mixed gender lodging (shorts and tee shirt). Mini reviews of everything on my gear for life page.
