    Essential Oils for Bedbugs?

    A recent scientific study on bed bugs said the oils work only if you're trying to make the bed bugs smell better as they bite you.

    Bed bugs this year???

    Be sure and go online and watch videos regarding permethrin spraying. Do it outdoors with no wind, do not spray it inside your sleeping bag, nor inside boots/shoes, nor inside your pack. Spray the outsides, though! Don't spray around cats or fish and make sure it's dry before cats "rub" on...

    Double check when you call your banks to inform of travel...

    Perhaps her account has been hacked since she's been on the Way. That is so unfortunate to be without funds! I had no problems with my Compass Bank card, whatsoever.

    luggage storage whilst walking the camino

    Hola! Contact Ivar, the administrator here at the Forum. He has a storage place and you can store with him for up to 2 months, I think. He charges a fair rate so contact him and see what the details are. This could solve your luggage question! :) Burn Camino! Bozzie (aka Dee Anne)

    Bed bugs at Refugio Ave Fénix in Villafranca Oct 19, 2013

    It is sad to think that people are so inconsiderate as to disregard bed bugs and to spread them. It is even sadder that your wife is thinking that she will not walk the Camino Frances, again. The only thing one can do is be vigilant, check the beds and surrounding area, not use the blankets...

    bed bugs 2013

    Hello, Pilgrim... You should not spray permethrin on the inside of your sleeping bag...only the outside. I actually sprayed the outside and inside of my backpack because I kept everything in it in zip-lock plastic bags (this also helped with organization of my clothing & personal items). I...

    bed bugs 2013

    Denis... Just be sure to check your bed each time before use it. It is possible that this will not only give you peace of mind, but it could save you a lot of stress, hassle and discomfort if you are bitten! It is simple. Checking the bed and the surrounding baseboards and walls just takes a...

    bed bugs 2013

    Before making a statement like this based on hearsay, I prefer to research the subject to exhaustion and then decide if I want to purchase or not certain producthttp://www.1channel.ch/watch-273 ... for-Change. That is the reason why I am comfortable with my choice to use the InsectShield Silk...

    bed bugs 2013

    Hola, Geordiewanderer... If you spray the exterior of your sleeping bag, that should do it! Not sure I'd want to sleep next to nor breathe permethrin inside of the sleeping bag. They say only to spray the exterior. You should always check the mattress around the seams for bed bug brown...

    bed bugs 2013

    Hola! It might be a good idea to take a plastic bag that's been treated to place your rutsack/backpack in if you're setting it on the floor. I took a thin cloth "laundry bag" which I'd sprayed with perethrin before leaving for the Camino. Jus' sayin'...and I also placed my backpack in it...

    Best time of the year to go?

    Hola, Aileen, I walked from SJPP beginning on Sept. 12th and finished in SdC on October 18th. As far as outer clothing, I took a pair of long wicking shorts as well as a pair of long wicking pants, 3 t-shirts made of wicking material, as well as a long sleeved shirt made of the same material.I...

    Review of "The Way" with Martin Sheen

    Thank you for sharing your lovely assessment, as well as your story. I do believe that this sacred experience, whether one is religious, spiritual, or neither, changes those who experience it in some way or another. Even if one walks away not feeling the change, it will eventually bubble up...

    Water Drinking Fountains

    Hello and good day, Pilgrims! I drank from fountains marked "potable" except between Burgos and Leon from Sept 12-Oct 18, 2012. No ill effects to report :). The reason I obstained from the fonts between Burgos and Leon was due to a post saying that there are quite a few pesticides in the water...

    How to treat gear with Permethrin? / Do I need waterproof pack

    Hi, John and other peregrinos! No one has said HOW to apply the stuff...how MUCH to apply. I am leaving in the first week of September right after the big influx of pilgrims to the camino during August. I'm sure I will need to prepare for all those who have gone before me, so...how much do I...
