Nobody sells actual diaper pins anymore. (Even the cloth diapers don't use them, they either have hook-n-loop or snaps.) One can find large safety pins, the regular type, in the sewing section as quilters use them to baste with. I don't think they rust in a big hurry but wouldn't rely on them for months at a stretch in moist conditions.Don't forget the diaper pins!

Plastic spring type clothespins exist and the last ones I bought have two sizes of indentions: a larger one and above that a smaller...presumably they will fit both the fat clotheslines of Spain and the thin pieces of paracord that one carries to hang-your-own clothesline in the bathroom.
I got some plastic carabiners a while back, very light weight, not sure if they will go with me or not next time. They're kind of big.

That’s excellent. In the UK the fisherman’s knot is known as a ‘double fisherman’s knot’ and each component is known as ‘half a double-fisherman’s’I made a lightweight pack hanger out of a loop of tach cord and a small carabiner. The loop was tied with a fisherman's knot. I use a larks head to hang the loop around the bunk bed.
You may want to check out something like a Nylofume bag to use as a pack liner or to store your pack in when not in use.
¡Buena suerte!
Hero Clip is great. Functional, flexible, and light.Neither! I don't have one yet, cut I'm planning to get a HeroClip. It looks like it will work well for multiple functions - hanging things in the shower area, hanging your backpack on the bunk, attaching things to your backpack, etc. I think that the size that has been suggested by other members is small.

You absolutely need neither of them.In your experience which one would be more useful in the camino? Should bring a carabiner or S hook?
I am not even sure lol what i will need this for, but i hear here in the forum that is good to have it to hang stuff.
Handy but not necessary... Weight vs. utility issue.You absolutely need neither of them.
String. Preferably free blue string from a hay bale.Handy but not necessary... Weight vs. utility issue.
Not a good choice, in my humble opinion... tends to unravel, even if the ends are tied off...String. Preferably free blue string from a hay bale.
Just melt the ends with a match or lighter. Light, length as required, and free of charge.Not a good choice, in my humble opinion... tends to unravel, even if the ends are tied off...
Yes - cheap, light, multipurpose and replaceable, but still not fully functional, IMHO - it wil unravel with use,,,Just melt the ends with a match or lighter. Light, length as required, and free of charge.

A backpack on the bed is like a "capital sin" in an albergue ( because of the dirt and more important the possible transport of bedbugs)Can u hang your backpack with it if you wanted? Is it strong enough for that? Where people usually put their backpack? On the floor? Or on top of the bed?
So speaks a fellow equine ownerString. Preferably free blue string from a hay bale.
I bought a small heroclip with me on last camino in April and used it once to hang up my backpack in the wardrobe. I think it might be useful if you stay in mostly albergues (I dont) and want to hang your pack from the bunk bed. I was in a albergue in La Coruna and I was the only one there! As usual no hooks in the shower and I thought great I'm going to use my $15 heroclip. But...............the double smoked glass shower doors must have been 7 feet high. I couldn't reach it to place the hook!Neither! I don't have one yet, cut I'm planning to get a HeroClip.
