I’m planning for the Camino Frances in late September and would appreciate some guidance on some finer points of bedbug avoidance. I’ve read lots of posts and I have the basic covered (e.g. check the mattress seams, don‘t put your pack on the bed, etc.), but could use some help with the following questions:
- Has anyone treated a down sleeping bag with permethrin? Will it wreck the down? Any watch-outs?
- If one can’t treat a down bag, has anyone tried sleeping with a down blanket or bag inside a treated silk liner? (I have a lightweight down Sea2Summit Traveller and a slik liner).
- Is it worth it to bag you backpack in a sealed garbage bag everynight, or is that just overkill and not worth the weight?
I’m planning to treat my pack (outside and inside) and the silk liner — I’m just not sure whether it would be OK for the backpack. Any and all thoughts are welcome. Thanks!
