Personally, I'd skip the headlamp - you can use your phone to check for the stuff you forgot under your bunk, or to light your way to the loo at night.
Not true. So long as you are always adding fresh clean water and nothing else, you don't need to do any intensive cleaning while you are on the trail.
I cleaned mine zero times last year during my 40+ days on the Camino.
UPDATE!!! The GNR reached out to me! I had sent a direct message to them on Facebook, and they confirmed that they had received my original message and that it was indeed being investigated. We sent them plenty of evidence, so he shouldn’t be too...
