sleeping bag

HI everyone, I just found out about this forum 😁. I will walk the camino's san salvador and primitivo in July. I'm hesitating a lot between bringing a sleeping bag, or a merino sleeping liner. Ok, its summer, but in mountains temps can drop a lot. I will go on budget, are there blankets...

OK- the title was made using the "title producer" that Ivar turned on. Not too bad! I added "for CF in Oct" I'd like to hear from anyone willing to share - how much did / does your sleeping bag (or sleep kit) weigh for a trip equivilant to an Oct CF? Do you usually add a mat (or some type of...

Hi All! Thinking about all the questions I had before I did my camino (Pamplona - Muxia/Finnesterre, 1/25-3/3). I wanted to pack light, and a sleeping bag just seemed like too much bulk. Mostly everywhere I read said to bring one, or at least a silk liner. I decided not to. Happy to report you...

Has anyone been on the Portuguese coastal recently and were there blankets in the Albergues? I'm traveling on Ryanair and got to keep backpack size down so only taking a liner🥶

Do i need a sleeping bag on the French route in September? What can be a good alternative? Would a silk liner be enough? I will appreciate any ideas and your experience to help me decide. Thanks.

Hi all, I'm leaving for the Frances tomorrow and I'm wondering about the cost of a sleeping bag and poles in the Saint Jean outdoor store. I have a sleeping bag but it's a bit bulky and I'm going back and forth on whether to bring it. If the cost of the equipment in SJ makes sense then I'd...

Hi pilgrims, I'm getting mixed messages whether albergues on the Portuguese Camino still provide blankets ( re Covid ). Would appreciate advice.

Hello, I am a big guy, and I recently bought a rectangular sleeping bag for my camino in May. However, when I tuck my hands in it, its becomes too small and uncomfortable otherwise it is okay. I figured that my hands should be on the inside to keep me warm so i should return it or are my hands...

Hi everyone, I begin my second Camino in the end of March from Porto to Santiago and have a question-are there blankets in the albergues ? I did my the Camino Norte in April 5 years ago and there were always blankets in the albergues. I know it will still be cold so any help would be greatly...

Sleeping bag or thermolite liner±silk liner ? I'll be leaving Porto on May 8 to walk the coastal/central/spiritual route to Santiago. And then on to Finisterre/Muxia/Santiago. I'm undecided about taking my sleeping bag. I walked the Camino Primitivo in Sept 2019 and didn't take a sleeping bag on...

Walking the Via de la Plata in late March into April and am going back and forth about whether I should take a lightweight down sleeping bag or a silk sleep sack and hope for/count on blankets being available in the albergues. Thoughts and suggestions. Thanks

Hello, I will be walking the camino frances starting May 22nd. I tried to find advice on the correct sleeping back temperature, but couldn't find any. Is a sleeping bag with comfort temp 20 degrees celcius and limit 15 enough given it will be May and hot? Or should I go with the 15 degrees...

OK. A crazy question to women if a certain age. I regularly have to take all covers off in the night to cool down. I have read many recommendations to use a sleeping bag liner for summer CF. But I don't want to be stuck I n something I can't easily get out of. Any previous experience or solutions?

I’m trying to decide on which temperature rated Enlightened Equipment Quilt for Camino Frances for the 1st week of March and probably the Plata the same time next year. I run cold and I’m trying to decide between the 30 or 40 degree rated quilt. For those that walk in the shoulder season how...

Is it necessary/vital to take a sleeping bag on the VdlP in April & May? I have a Thermalite sack & a silk sack. Will this be enough?

Camino newbie here. My partner and I will be walking the Primitivo in May. To allay my worries about the bed rush and allow us to walk at our own pace, I have booked accommodation all the way through, private rooms either in hostels or hotels. Can I assume we will be provided with bedding...

So I'm walking for the first time at the end of May and I'm coming from NZ. I'm wondering if I bring a sleeping bag with me, it's quite a chunky piece of equipment, but I've also heard various reports about what the accommodation offers in terms of bedding, is it worth me bringing it? Thanks...

I am flippajero and start on 2 june 2023 from Leon to Santiago. Do i need a sleeping bag in first two weeks ✅

Hi All, I’m Graham and I’m doing the Camino Frances from SJPDP starting second week of May 2023. (First timer) Just asking is a sleeping bag necessary, or would a liner be enough? I’m from N.Ireland so I’m used to a bit of cold weather. Any comments/advice would be most appreciated. G

I’ve seen comments that you don’t need to take a sleeping bag but just sleeping bag liner on Puy-En-Velay. But is that true for April? Also, what temperature rating is recommended for sleeping bag where it will be used indoors? I could see one being too hot in one rated at low temperature.
