    Sleeping bag or sleeping sheet?

    I plan to walk the Vézelay route in June. I am hearing conflicting advice reagarding the sleeping bag. For some, it is just indispensable, the single most important item in the backpack.

    Summer nights on CF and sleeping bags

    Yes. I'm starting another thread on this subject. I apologize ;) I do not know yet when I will be able to leave and do the Camino Francés, but I would like to do it in July/August. I have a sleeping bag (7C/45F) and a liner, but using only a liner irks me a little bit, since it is very thin and...

    Sleeping Bag April/May

    I am trying to figure out the sleeping bag situation for the camino. I bought a sleep sack and did a trial run by sleeping in my house. I used a silk liner inside the sleep sack....I was freezing. I tested the sack in October and it was much warmer in my house back then than it is now. I...

    Sleeping Bag?

    I plan to do the Camino starting in late April 2016. I have been advised to go with a silk sleeping bag liner instead of carrying the extra weight of a sleeping bag. Apparently the silk keeps you warm enough. Would appreciate other thoughts on this option.
