The bugs are normally found in the blankets,
The blankets may not have any more bedbugs than other hiding places in the room. They make forays out for night feedings. Also, they don't need to eat everyday in order to survive.Bedbugs do not live in blankets stored on a shelf – there is nothing to eat there!
I only took a silk liner when I did the vdlp mostly in May. While most nights I was fine, there were some when I was freezing and even wearing all my clothes I was uncomfortable, I didn't see any blankets to use. I decided it is worth the added weight for me to carry a synthetic down blanket for my next Camino, I love sleep more than saving the oz's. But like everything in terms of Camino gear, it will depend on your personal preferences and how warm you like to be.I've been surprised by these replies. I am departing Seville on May 5th and did not plan to take anything other than a liner. I did the Frances June/July and didn't need anything more than a liner, so am assuming starting in the south in May will also mean I don't need anything. Hope not or that will change the whole game plan...will need a new bag!
The OP was planning to depart a month earlier - the first week of April. That could make quite a difference.I've been surprised by these replies. I am departing Seville on May 5th and did not plan to take anything other than a liner.
So you're saying just to make sure you're there on the bedbugs "off days"? Tee hee.....The blankets may not have any more bedbugs than other hiding places in the room. They make forays out for night feedings. Also, they don't need to eat everyday in order to survive.
And by the way, do you have the bedbugs "schedule"? Sorry, couldn't resist!So you're saying just to make sure you're there on the bedbugs "off days"? Tee hee.....
Yes. They monitor my whereabouts and come on the days I am there.And by the way, do you have the bedbugs "schedule"? Sorry, couldn't resist!
