    I think I solved my sleeping bag/liner dilemma

    I'm starting my Camino next week(!!!!!) in Logroño, but I'm only walking the Frances to León; then I will walk the San Salvador and Primitivo to Santiago.

    Should I bring a sleeping bag

    Hi everyone, please can you advise if it would be best to bring a sleeping bag with me for my Camino? I’m not camping, but do all albergues provide/offer blankets? I’m just thinking about the weight of my backpack. Thanks!

    Poll Sleep system: Sleeping bag, liner, etc?

    For fun, let's conduct a poll. We have this question come up so often, that it might be convenient to point to poll results that illustrate the range of responses. Because the forum software offers very limited polling choices, we'll need to make some generalizations and assumptions, to make...

    French Way - Sleeping bag or Liner?

    I'll be starting my Camino 4/25 - I'm trying to decide on my sleeping bag sit. I plan on 85% Hostel sleeps and wonder if a Thermolite Reactor Extreme LINER (+15degrees to normal sleeping bag) is adequate for this time of year?

    No Sleeping Bag, Winter Camino Frances

    Hi All! Thinking about all the questions I had before I did my camino (Pamplona - Muxia/Finnesterre, 1/25-3/3). I wanted to pack light, and a sleeping bag just seemed like too much bulk. Mostly everywhere I read said to bring one, or at least a silk liner. I decided not to. Happy to report you...

    Hot flashes and sleeping bag liners?

    OK. A crazy question to women if a certain age. I regularly have to take all covers off in the night to cool down. I have read many recommendations to use a sleeping bag liner for summer CF. But I don't want to be stuck I n something I can't easily get out of. Any previous experience or solutions?
