I am getting the chance to test my sleeping gear for the camino. I am staying with a friend invnew york and his apartment has no heat. So, today i am heading to rei to buy my sleep sack and clothes. I discovered last night that i cant sleep in what i had planned. Not only was it not warm enough but it was uncomfortable. Guess this is good to learn now though i would prefer to be warm right now....
