    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?

    Sleeping bag needed in private accommodation on C. Primitivo?

    Camino newbie here. My partner and I will be walking the Primitivo in May. To allay my worries about the bed rush and allow us to walk at our own pace, I have booked accommodation all the way through, private rooms either in hostels or hotels. Can I assume we will be provided with bedding...

    Do You Need Sleeping Bag in April?

    I’ve seen comments that you don’t need to take a sleeping bag but just sleeping bag liner on Puy-En-Velay. But is that true for April? Also, what temperature rating is recommended for sleeping bag where it will be used indoors? I could see one being too hot in one rated at low temperature.

    Sleeping sac - I'm looking for the lightest

    I'm looking for suggestions on the lightest sleep "sac" I can use on the Camino. 1. I never get cold at night (if cold, I wear extra clothes). 2. I never walk the Camino in winter. 3. Right now, I use a flannel sheet folded in half and sewn at the bottom and even that is too heavy. Any...
