Yeah, sure -- just came back from a week long fishing/hiking trip in South-Western Norway. All in all happy with loadout. See list here:

In hindsight: Should have brought waterproof socks, as shoes were wet, all day, every day, and didn't really dry out until the last day. Also, should have brought my Cumulus down sleeping bag (700g), as two night we had temperatures around freezing, and the quilt wasn't really warm enough.

Nice trip, though, pic related, nice landscapes

> waterproof socks

I have neoprene booties for kayaking that I would never use as hike socks. Maybe as camp socks, but what "waterproof" sock would be better than nice, thick wool socks?

Yeah, exactly; I should have been more specific. No, I don't walk in the socks, they're for walking around in the evenings inside the wet trail runners, both making everything more comfortable (warm and dry), and helping me dry out the shoes faster.

I concur, woolen socks for sleeping etc in combination with down socks, fast drying synthetic liners for hiking.

No, yeah, no. Pic related, day after. Not so French anymore, perhaps...

Ok I live and hike in the western part of germany, the Eifel Mountains.

My shit is pretty basic because I dont want to drop big money on something as natural as hiking. I may add that I only do day long hikes. I leave in the morning and be back at night.

As for shoes I use Jack Wolfskin Vojo Hike. Light but not very rugged. Tha plan is to replace them with Meindls or Haix next year when they are done

Cushioned hiking socks from the lokal outdoor store. Work for me very good.

Old olive drab Moleskin german army pants w/ suspenders. Rugged comfy and cheap.

Tshirts and when it gets colder a fleece jacket that lives in my ruck the rest of the year.

Some hat

A surplus cotton backpack from croatia. Filled with
- fleece jacket
- two one quart canteens
- rain poncho
- snacks
- a pair of heavy ass 70s binocs from my grandpa
- first aid kit
- spare socks
- knife
- spare lighter and cigs
- spare laces

The pockets of my pants are filled with
- money
- cigs and lighter
- 1:50k hiking map
- the compass I "forgot" when I left the army

So basically I go hiking like people back i the 60s. To make it clear I do that on purpose. Lots of guys today spend tons of money on lightweight hightech stuff. I just dont like the idea of bringing tons of expensive stuff i to nature. I just wanna hike so I only need good boots. I di t care if the rest is non breathable, non waterproof or heavier than modern stuff. It weights what it weights.

Oh, babby. How could you justify such a claim?
Did you read
>>822089, and my answer
>>822118

Or, do you actually mean that there can be no conceivable use for waterproof socks?
