Like a snake shedding its skin.How the heck do you get out when you have to go to the bathroom?
How the heck do you get out when you have to go to the bathroom?
Or leave it on and hop.Like a snake shedding its skin.
Why didn't I think of that? Much better than hopping.,Just cut two leg holes in the bottom. Then when nature calls, pull up the bag liner like a pair of shorts and start walking
Why didn't I think of that? Much better than hopping.,
But by hopping you will strengthen your camino legs, especially if you start the process at home a few weeks before you leave.Why didn't I think of that? Much better than hopping.,
Me, too... I love humor!Oh, I’m having a good chuckle o er this!!! ❤
I use a silk sleep sack. Mine opens on one side about half way down. It makes it really easy to get in and out. It also is washable and dries really quickly.
Dreamsack. I have used it on 4 of my 5 Caminos. It is still in great shape. I just checked the their website. I bought mine 8 years ago for about $50. The one I bought is now $118 but maybe you can get it cheaper at other websites or stores. I bought mine in a travel store.What brand do you have, lt56ny ?

Just edited my post bought it in a travel store my friend owns when I lived in Ashland, Oregon. Sorry I couldn't be more help.Can you recall where you bought it? I have misplaced my Deuter bag liner and need to find a replacement.
I have a similar silk liner, with ties going down about halfway on one side, that I got from MEC.Can you recall where you bought it? I have misplaced my Deuter bag liner and need to find a replacement.
3oo grams is a lot for a liner. My sleeping bag is only 450 grams and I think my silk liner, purchased at MEC is about 150. The liner has served me well on several caminos. It is a mummy style but very easy to get in and out of...that is a badly constructed sentence but you get the idea!!View attachment 69716
This liner is a seamless barrel shape and it has a lot of stretch to it. It’s very roomie, but I feel kinda confined when I get in. How the heck do you get out when you have to go to the bathroom?
I’d like to either add a zipper or a few ties on one side so it’s easier to get in and out of. It’s made out of a stretch knit material. I’m a wee bit nervous at the thought of cutting into it. I don’t want to wreck it. If you have any advice or experience with something like this, I’d love to hear from you!
Have you ever done something like this?
Will the stretch knit unravel?
Will a zipper make it too heavy?
Maybe Velcro?
Thank you!!!
I am a large woman... 250. A regular sleeping bag is too small for me. I took a sleeping sack from MEC (with ties) on my first Camino and bought a freeze once I began. This time, I wanted to be a bit more prepared. So, I have a big one but need to open it up so I can get about in it! Things that seem so simple like a sleeping bag, a liner, pants, getting a bottom bunk can be more of a challenge when you don’t “fit the norm”!!!3oo grams is a lot for a liner.

I am 6’2” and about 210 pounds. I think they come in different lengths. If I remember correctly. There is enough room for me. As my wife will tell you I move around a lot at night so it doesn’t restrict me. I know she doesn’t object to my Caminos so she can sleep like a baby.How roomie is this dreamsack?!!

I don't know the brand, but that's what I used, too - cut far enough down so getting out at night wasn't a problem.Dreamsack. I have used it on 4 of my 5 Caminos. It is still in great shape.

Had the same problem. Took it to the cleaners who also do repairs and had it slit along the seam about half way down and the edges hemmed. Works fine. No need to seal it.View attachment 69716

Thank you! It looks like the opening is only part way down - maybe?
