sleeping bag

So unexpectedly I now have 10 spare days between my Europe travels at the beginning of September. I travel only with hand luggage (aka the trusty 40L hiking backpack) and I absolutely do not have space for a sleeping bag or liner which I would have no use for outside of the camino; however, the...

I've used a silk sleep sack for both of my Caminos, and the only issue that I have with it is getting tangled up in it as I sleep. I was thinking how nice it would be to have a bottom fitted sheet that doesn't move around. So I attached tow pieces of elastic to keep the liner in place. I made...

Hello! I am seeking advice about the Camino Portugues - I will be doing the CP from Porto in June this year. I have had trouble determining if I should bring a sleeping bag, or just a liner. I am also wondering if anyone who has done the variante espiritual has any advice - days it took from...

I would like to do the Cammino di Assisi, Dovadola - La Verna - Assisi (and then continue to Rome) next year. Which guide book (in English, or in Italian) has the most useful maps and accommodation information? A detail question: Do the rifugi between Dovadola and La Verna have blankets on the...

I'm hiking the Camino de Frances early September to early October. I was curious to hear how the weather was for anyone that has hiked during that time. I know it's pretty unpredictable, but was hoping to at least get an idea. Anyone have advice for type of shoes during this time? Water...

Hi all, I'm super excited to be walking the Camino Frances in September this year (2018 - starting August 29th and ending around the first week in October). Should I bring a sleeping bag? Or perhaps a sleeping bag liner?(I've seen a couple of microfiber fleece liners that provide a little...

I'm hiking my first Camino from Porto starting on April 10th. I'm trying to find a light, affordable, and warm sleeping bag. Do you think a 45-degree bag will be warm enough? Outdoor temperatures will be around 40 at night according to historical records, but I figure that being indoors should...

I have always taken a fairly lightweight sleeping bag on my April/May caminos and have been very happy, but now I'm going in June for the first time. I have read many opinions on using sleep sacks/liners and they seem to get high reviews here on the forum and the ones mostly mentioned are silk...

Hello - I am leaving SJPP in mid March and am unsure whether to take a sleeping bag - I have a silk liner and expect that I can just use the hostel's blankets saving quite a bit of room in my rucksack. I would welcome your advice.

Hi all, my husband and I are planning to walk the Camino del Norte beginning in late-April. We're leaning toward bringing sleeping bags but I'm waffling because I've heard very strong opinions on both sides. I'm not sure if the discrepancy in opinion is due to different routes, different travel...

Hi all am going to be heading out to walkthe Camino in may, starting out from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and just wondering what season of sleeping bag I will get away with taking ? Is a two season sleeping bag ok ?

What do we think of this https://tinyurl.com/yan7sm4h I think it could be either quite cosy or unbelievably clingy. Does anybody want to take the plunge and try one out?

My wife and I have walked a couple of CF's (one in July, one Sept-Oct) and never needed more than a silk liner bag. She thinks we can do the same on the Camino Portugues (roughly Oct. 15-Oct.28). We also carry light down jackets that we can sleep in if necessary. Usually staying in municipal...

Hello Everyone, planning to join you soon on Camino Frances. What are the night time temperatures in the albergues? Is an actual sleeping bag necessary at this time of year? How about a bug sheet instead? Here's a typical Sea to Summit product...

Ok, improved is a bit of an exageration, but they are 3 inches wider putting them at 60x70. Loft is 700. Also, they are now rebranded as an Eddie Bauer product. This may mean they will be sold elsewhere than Costco? Colours are dark grey, light grey, navy and burgandy. Still as slippery...

I'm hoping to walk the Camino this fall and I'm currently going through everything I've purchased and now cutting it down. I would like to know what would be the best compression sack or sacks for clothing and/or a sleeping bag and a case for first aid supplies. I have a Deuter Act Lite 45+10...

Hello! I will be walking the Camino Frances in July and I had a few questions about gear. Should I bring a sleeping bag or a sleep sack? If so, does anyone have any suggestions? For rain gear, would I be okay bringing my anorak or should I get a more formal rain jacket? Thanks in advance to...

Hi folks! I'll be beginning my first Camino at the beginning of May. My rucksack is weighing in at 10kg - oops! I want to get it down to 7-8kg and could drop a little over 1kg by leaving out the sleeping bag. I'm told most places have blankets you can use of it's a bit chilly so thought...

Any suggestions for a restless sleeper who can't stand the confines of a sleeping bag, yet the albergue blankets are not enough? I have a silk liner but need something more, and lighter than my bag was. Please advise where to buy online if you have a suggestion. Thanks in anticipation!

We are first timers planning to walk the Camino Ingles in a few weeks. I've heard different things about whether you need a sleeping bag if you are staying in the albergues. Is there central heating, or is it more basic than that? We weren't planning to bring bags but perhaps that's a choice we...
