[QUOTE="C clearly, post: 1186883, member: 1589"] The bed bugs are as likely (or more) to be hiding in crevices in the walls or floors, than they are to be hiding under the covers, especially if the covers have been replaced each day. Further, bed bugs tend to hide during the day - they are not likely to come crawling out of the bed or crevices to get into your pack during the day even when you plunk it on the bed. (Keeping your pack on the bed at night, near your sleeping body, might be a higher risk.) In any case, your pack should not be on the bed, for reasons of cleanliness I think the best protection for your backpack is to enclose it in a bedbug-proof bag at night. In the morning, pack your contaminated sleeping things in another bag within your pack while you walk the next day, so the bugs cannot escape into your bag. If you don't start itching while walking, you are probably OK. If you do start itching, you need to debug, and you can focus on the bag of contaminated stuff. All of this is just a matter of reducing the probability of bedbugs getting into your bag, while finding some methods that are not be too onerous or obsessive while you are trying to enjoy the Camino.
