    Under-Publicized Backpack Options?

    How about double pack: Chest Pack for all-around needs and small Back Pack or Burricot.

    My sleeping bag is too tight

    If your sleeping bag has a zipper, you can use it another way. Zip the footbox, but not upper part. You can use it as a quilt. Plenty of room. Try this with your bag. Maybe you do not need to buy a new one!

    Sleeping bag question

    I double Ghost Rydurrrr: Use it as a quilt. Zip the foot-end to have a footbox and use the rest as a blanket. You save money and weight.

    Sleeping bag or Klymit blanket on CF in fall?

    Read right! The name is HALTI, not Haiti. Halti is name of our highest Fjell (or mountin if you will). This trade name has plenty of outdoor gadgets. Buen Camino! Benny

    Make My Mind Up 4 Me

    Do not buy anything you need. Just what you cannot do without. I vote for your medium weight long sleeve merino t-shirt. Benny

    Which sleeping bag?

    You need a quilt ! See Snugpak jungle Blanket. A 1 meter zipper attached to form a footbox makes it. Your garments in backpack gives margin for additional temperature insulation.

    Using a larger Backpack, just not filling it up. Thoughts?

    If you go kayaking, it is all the same, if you have a big or small kayak. It is all the same, if your trip is just overnight or several weeks. Your kayak is always full !!

    Lightweight and Compact Sleeping Bags for the Camino Frances

    Standard Jungle Blanket. I put a 1 meter zipper to make a footbox and use it as quilt. Zipper allows to open it for usual blanket. Very good!
