    There are various ways to look, but you might still want to ask your personal version. Most of the time we don't mind! Start by looking at the Home page. Scroll down that page until you get to "Welcome" (I know, it might make sense to have it...

    I have always carried a sleeping bag and liner. I wouldn't use a bag without a liner, and only on very few occasions found a liner sufficient. I find a +5degC bag is about right. I can only think of one place where it wasn't quite warm enough...

    How do folks deal with bed bugs on the CF route? I suspect that the little sods are in every nook and cranny at the tail end of the summer season. I remember getting bitten by them whilst staying at a military block on the first Arms Control...

    You need a lightweight 1 season sleeping bag. Down ones are light and pack up very small but expensive. You can get cheap ones online or from main outdoor shops, they still pack up small.
