Feet are the unsung heroes of /out/. Gear can fail, hands may falter, but you can always count on your feet to get you out of trouble.

Hence wool socks, synthetic sock liners, and taking care of your feet.

I'll carry 3-4 pairs of socks and underwear when weight is critical and only carry 1 set of clothing.

That doesn't cause trench foot, not if you regularly dry you feet and avoid walking in cold wet mud.
