    What blister prevention techniques did you use?

    Sleeping bag

    I will begin my Camino April 1 and I'm also curious as to what type of sleeping bag is necessary for this route. I did the Camino Frances in late June of 2012 and all I brought with me was a thin sleeping liner which was perfect during that summer season. At REI I was told since I'll be sleeping...
