Re: How many pairs of socks?
2-3 pairs depending on the conditions should be adequate for 90+% of the hunts in BC.

First off you can get 4 days by spinning them from to back and then flipping them inside out and spinning them again. On day 5 you just pick the cleanest panel. :razz:
Re: How many pairs of socks?
2 days or 14 days, I pack 2 pairs of light smart wool socks and one pair of medium or heavy smart wool socks. Any time I stop for 15 minutes or more, I have my crocks on and the pair I’m wearing dry out quick.
Re: How many pairs of socks?
I’m going on a 10 day backpack hunt this August. I’m going to wear one pair and pack 2 pair for spares. Seems like you can spend $5-$50 a pair. What do most of you recommend I don’t mind spending good money just want to find some high quality socks for the trip
thanks

I wore smart wool for a few years, but am really starting to like darn tough. I find icebreaker's quality has gone down, but their price hasn't.

Re: How many pairs of socks?
I like to take a few extra pairs of socks as a luxury item so I usually pack 3-4 pairs... I always pack Thorlo level III hikers or trekkers they might be called now and usually brand new pairs. Nothing feels better on your feet after several miles with a loaded pack than a brand new pair of Thorlos. I have yet to find a better, thicker sock for mountain hunting. As Decker has mentioned whenever I stop for a few minutes my boots come off, usually my socks too and I let everything air out. It's always nice to soak the feet in a cold mountain creek as well.
