    Sleeping arrangements on Camino Frances during COVID times

    I intend to walk the Camino Frances from end of April- begin june. In older pre-covid posts I read that you don't need a sleeping bag and blankets are provided in most of the albergues and hostels. A sleep liner would be sufficient. Now I read somewhere that this is no longer the case, probably...

    Best way to carry a sleeping bag: inside or outside the pack?

    I'm planning on taking a sleeping bag on my first hike (at least for the first couple of weeks) but wonder what is the most common way to carry it. Most packs have straps to tie the bag to the bottom but ii seems to me that the thing would be whapping your rear end with every step. I'm 5'10"...

    Sleeping bag for tall

    Hello everyone, I'm planning my first Camino starting early March as that is only period of year I could possibly do it. I do not hike, do not camp, so I have to buy full new equipment and from what I read sleeping bag is a must at that time of year, especially with covid around. I'm 2...

    Space Blanket: Noise?

    I carried and sometimes used, a light sleeping bag on my camino Frances. There was some weight and bulk involved. I am wondering about substituting a mylar space blanket for next time. They cost and weigh next to nothing. (often sold in packs of 10/// might be a fun thing to share). I've...

    Sleeping bag needed if staying in hotels rather than alberques?

    Will be walking from September 7-19 and due to COVID, have decided to stay in hotels rather than albergues. I am thinking I might not need to bring a sleeping bag. I wonder what experienced pilgrims think.

    Sleeping solution... still confused!

    Hi, we are planning a first time walk from SJPdP to Santiago starting early September this year. Mostly staying in Alburgues we hope. We've done a lot of research online and are pretty happy with most items to pack - except for sleeping... liner only, liner and down quilt, or lightweight down...

    silk sleeping bag liner: Browint XL or Lone Wolf?

    I'm deciding between the Browint XL liner, available on amazon for $64 US and the Lone Wolf Special Edition liner, available from the treksilk website for $50 plus shipping. The Lone Wolf ships from Vietnam and takes a few weeks, the Browint is available on amazon prime right now and could be...

    Sleeping Bags still required?

    For those currently on the Frances…are sleeping bags still required at the albergues? I thought I had previously read they were no longer allowed, but maybe that was on the Portugues? Or maybe I was just dreaming? Planning on a September Camino with my niece who has not walked one before and...

    Coldest Stages on Camino Frances for late June/July

    What are the coldest (overnight temps) stages on the Camino Frances for Late June/All of July? I'm debating bringing a liner PLUS a light sleeping bag for the albergues OR if I know in advance the coldest stages, maybe those are the nights I'll spend a bit more and stay in a place that has blankets.

    REI Sleeping Bag - Camino Light

    REI Outlet has a Kelty 40 sleeping bag on sale TODAY ONLY for US $70. The bag only weighs 1# 10oz. and includes a stuff sack. This is the lightest bag I've found at any price point below $400 and should be warm enough for 3 seasons on the Camino.

    Bed sheets

    I have a rather specific question... As a very restless sleeper, I know for a fact that I can’t use a sleeping bag or a zippered sleeping sack. I’m wondering if anyone has ever used a fitted sheet and a light weight fleece blanket? When I walked in 2014, I used a cotton sleeping sack that I cut...

    Washing Your Sleeping Bag on Camino?

    I have not needed to tote a sleeping bag with me on Camino before, as I tend to stay in CRs and private rooms if in an Albergue. But I'm taking the plunge and will be throwing myself into the whole Albergue thing next time around. Sorry folks. :oops: So yet another of my dumb questions... I...

    Backpack and Sleeping Bag Care

    Many of us are at home with some time to spare. In thinking about Camino, perhaps this might be a good time to look at the two major pieces of gear we use and do some maintenance and cleaning. Backpack General Maintenance: 1. Empty EVERY SINGLE POCKET. Check for gunk, like a moldy baggie of...
