I was just wondering how many pairs of socks you mountain hunters pack with you?

On multi day hikes I always bring a few pairs and wash them out, but when I was out with some friends last summer they wore the same pair of merino socks for 5 straight days. I didn’t give their feet a sniff, but they said no problems with moist, stinky feet.

I have ave a couple pairs of icebreakers I wear pretty religiously and I’m going to see how many days I can go this summer without changing them. I’m betting I’ll breakdown and change them long before the 5 day mark.

On a side note. Does anyone have a hack for wearing the same pair of underwear for 5 days? Lol
