    Sleeping bag rating for the mountains in spring...

    Hallo, First of all - thanks to all of you in this warm and generous community. Every time I have had a question, I've found a thread where someone else asked the same question years ago and it was answered helpfully, with a lovely mix of practicality and care :) This question has too many...

    Re-designing My Sleep System for Weight and Comfort

    Looking for recommendations. I dislike sleeping bags. I’m also not fond of sleeping bag liners. I own one of each and carried them on all my Camino's but I don't think I ever once slept in them as designed. I always just unzip them completely and use them as a blanket or a sheet. So, in the...

    Bed sheets? Are they always available?

    I will be starting the full Camino Francés on 16th May 2025. I cannot get a sense of whether sheets/bedclothes are provided in all Albergues or not. If not, I can see the logic of bringing a (light) sleeping bag or bag liner. Can anyone advise please?

    Sleeping bag for shorties recommendation

    I'm looking to buy a sleeping bag for my next Camino, but since I'm only 1.5m tall (5 feet), I’d prefer not to go with a standard-sized one. I don't want to feel like I’m swimming in it, and the extra 30cm of unused space just adds unnecessary weight. On my last Camino, which was during the peak...

    My perfect ultralight sleep setup

    Hey everyone, i guess I'm not good at starting threads, but rather comment. I guess my last "own" thread is the one a couple of years ago where i talked about my 3,6kg loadout for the Camino Frances (see signature). Today i felt like opening a new one, since 2 Caminos after my last thread i...

    Bedding/accommodations on the Camino Primitivo?

    Hello all! I am planning to hike the Camino Primitivo next month. What sort of bedding should I account for? Ideally, I’d like to stay somewhere that provides bedding so I have less to carry in my pack, but am open to anything. Please share your recommendations or tips related to...

    Night temp for a sleeping bag liner

    I’m leaving in a week and the weather through the Meseta looks pretty cool at night 45 to 50°F. Is that too cold for a sleeping bag liner?

    Which should I take? Sleeping bag or liner?

    I know this has been discussed in the past, but I'm having trouble finding some of the older threads. My mom and I are walking the Norte from September 3 - October 15. Should we take a lightweight sleeping bag or just a liner? We're not wanting to take more weight than necessary and, although...

    Sleep sack for bed bugs

    Hola, I gearing up to start my 1st CdS and have seen people recommended sleeping bag liners to protect against bed bugs. Do these help or is it a myth? Should I add the extra weight of bringing one?

    Just a liner or sleeping bag? (Possible weather change)

    I’ve been planning to just bring a liner instead of a sleeping bag for my Camino Frances, which I’m starting in August 11, so I’ve been planning for very hot weather, (up to 40 degrees C by some accounts) rendering a sleeping bag unnecessary, or so I’ve heard… …but then, It might take me well...

    Sleeping bag and lock

    Hello everyone, Starting my first Camino 5/19! I'd love some input on a couple of things as I plan and pack. I'm walking the CF, solo. I plan on bringing a silk sleeping bag liner. What kind of sleeping bag (or down duvet, maybe?) would you suggest for this route at this time of year? Should...

    I have an Alpkit sleeping bag which packs super small and is light, https://alpkit.com/products/cloud-nine?variant=33021527752809 which I was intending taking, however I am wondering if as I will be travelling in June a just a sleeping bag liner will be enough. Also I am concerned about bed...

    Le Puy April-May Sleeping bag?

    Hello all! I apologize if this has been asked and answered, I struggle finding posts on my phone. I think I've read that most gites, etc, have bedding on le puy. Is it necessary to carry a sleeping bag? Planning to do the Cele variant, as well. Thank you!

    Sleeping Bag Compression Sack

    I just received my ultralight Enlightened Revelation APEX Sleeping Quilt. I have a 34L pack, and I’m looking for the best way to compress it so I can pack it inside to keep it dry. This quilt was not cheap! Thanks in advance!!!

    Sleeping bag or liner and blanket

    Hello veteran walkers! What was your preference for sleeping gear when you walked? Did you prefer a light sleeping bag or a liner with a blanket? I'm starting my first Camino (Frances) in late April but have been an avid backpacker for many years. I've used both "systems" depending on climate...

    Slippery quilt and sliding liner

    I don't sew much, and it seems there are many good sewers here, so I thought I'd ask for advice before I start on my bag and liner "upgrade". My slippery quilt (sleeping bag) slides off my bag liner; it will not stay put over the quilt for more than a few minutes. If I climb into the liner and...

    Sleeping bag in February-March?

    Hello! My husband and I are walking from Almería starting mid-February, and were wondering if it’s necessary to pack a sleeping bag. We’ve done other Caminos but always in warmer months and on more highly traveled trails where almost every place has blankets. I really try to keep the weight...

    Is a sleeping bag or a liner enough for the Camino in April?

    I'll be off on my first Camino this coming April. I'd like to know for those of you who have done the Camino this time of the year is it really necessary to lug around a sleeping bag and the liner as well or will the liner suffice? Also which products did you take with you if you chose to use one?
