I have treated both my sleeping bag and backpack (some clothes, too) with permethrin. So I don´t think I am carrying any bed bugs further, but who knows.jeploss said:I got a 1.1 lbs down sleeping bag + a silk liner. The debate rages on this Forum about which chemical to use to keep the bedbugs out: permethrin vs non-permethrin products. But what I don't understand is if you treat the liner, don't the bedbugs get into your sleeping bag and then don't you end up transporting them with you to the next place you sleep? Do you have to treat BOTH the liner and the sleeping bag?

Brilliant idea! Thanks!Portia1 said:I took a silk liner and made a polarfleece blanket (smaller than a twin size)--this combo was lighter than a sleeping bag and gave me flexibility.

That kinda depends on WHEN you are going. In the summer months, you'll likely be fine. Otherwise, you'll risk a few sleepless nights. As you recall, several members has told us that there ARE places that have no blankets available.
Hi!This is probably a very naive question, but... walking from SJPP to Santiago from mid-May through June this year, can I get away with just a CoolMax sleeping bag liner, or will I need a true sleeping bag? If I need a sleeping bag, any recommendations on the type I should buy?
I carried both on the Camino Ingles May of this year. I used both together and separately. Liner weighs very little, takes up little space and can be a barrier between you and the Albergue blanket.. It's a matter of choice.This is probably a very naive question, but... walking from SJPP to Santiago from mid-May through June this year, can I get away with just a CoolMax sleeping bag liner, or will I need a true sleeping bag?
