I like fleece booties for bed time as well as socks. I don’t like cold feet.
Another trick we use to do is to wear the damp/wet socks around your neck during the day as you hike and they will be dry by evening.
We always hang our wet clothes off the back of the pack as we are hiking. This is where it gets the most sun and usually dries fast. During the cooler seasons I bring a pair of -15 degree wool socks to sleep in since my feet are usually the first thing that gets cold.
I take 3 pairs also. Wear one, one to dry and one as back up I figure.
I also use shower curtain hooks. I hang the socks off my ruck and allow them to dry. I also use them to hand sandals off my ruck as to not take up more space inside. When camped, they can be used with some 550 cord to make a clothesline!
Just hang the wet ones from your pack. If you sweat a lot you will never dry your socks hanging them on your body!
What about airing out boots if they have been soaked?
I wear always two pair, just to prevent blisters. 2 extra pair for walking and a dry pair for after walking.
I carry 2 pairs of socks per day, and change at mid day on through hike backpacking trips where washing is not an option. I also carry woman’s knee high pantyhose socks (in a manly color) as a “poor man’s” liner sock
@BigJ8k Stuff them with newspaper and leave them in a warm place. Change the paper every two hours or so and they’ll dire out in no time. If newspaper isn’t available then leave them overnight in a dry, warm place and make sure they are unlaced and as open as possible.
I want a Moochie from you LoL nice vid thanks for all you do plz plz plz dont forget the lil ppl like me when u get big
I was hoping for a demonstration of how to put on socks too, so we could see the pretty leggy legs.
pretty hands
Nice video, once again. THX for sharing.
Underarmor socks are the best for me.
thoughts on wool socks for summer hiking guys?
Jesus Christ, all these comment about her hands and legs are making me sick, go watch some porn instead you freaks…
Mr. Lundin only wears socks. I think he is right. You will see that shoes will be revolutionized in design. Now they make running shoes that are the exact shape of the foot.
@theanvilcracks yeah must be really frustrating too, to make quality videos like these and all people ever comment about is her looks
@philsaddiction probably not so good in summer and cotton socks are bad in any season so probably socks tht wick away moisture
I use one pair of tight wool-blend socks without a liner and three pairs for anything over a week.
she can survive and shes attractive… Marry me? lol
@theanvilcracks hmmm..she is: smart, beautiful, ‘sexy hot’ , accomplished and has an obvious personality that consistently makes people enjoy being around her. Naturally men are going to give her a lot of attention – it would seem that she is ‘down to Earth’ enough that it does not go to her head (compliments for the girl). So I say,” hmmm..you have a lot to be jealous about, but then, your just a troll” – and NOBODY likes Trolls.
@bonesword98 Fuck you buddy. Fuck you…
Cabela’s silver x socks ftw!!!
OMG, I love those legs !!!
I want to be reincarnated as a pair of her socks.:)
