I’ve been on long backpacking trips (up to two months at a time). Obviously gangrene is something to watch for, but I’ve only ever needed two pairs. One pair for day, and one pair for night. If the day pair got wet, I’d sleep with them inside my sleeping bag so that they’d be dry in the morning.

What’s the longest you’ve gone backpacking for? Do you wear merino? 2 a day is way too much if you’re long distance backpacking, but if weight isn’t an issue, I agree, the more the better. Dry feet are very important.

@@RealBoiJare That sounds like a great way to get your down sleeping bag wet (and thereby making it less insulating) and have a terrible night. Guess it might work with synthetic sleeping bags though, idk, don't use those much anymore. Still wouldn't love having a stinky wet sock in my sleeping bag... My two cents on the socks: I carry three pairs of socks (1 for sleeping, 2 for hiking). For myself I have decided that I'd rather carry the extra couple grams rather than be frustrated with how I smell and dreading putting on my clothes in the morning (even merino wool starts stinking after a few days if you sweat enough). But that's just me. I don't think there's a universal answer on how much is enough. Body odor is different for everyone and so is our sense of smell and what we perceive as comfortable :). If the extra weight is worth it to you, bring it. People have brought far more useless stuff on hikes than an extra pair of socks. Also, an extra pair allows you to wash one pair of hiking socks and dry them on your backpack while hiking in the other pair and still having a mostly clean pair for sleeping in your backpack. That's how I did it on the Camino in Spain. Never had stinky socks that way!

You bring what you need to layer. If you stick to merino wool socks/underwear you can rotate them pretty easily and safely. Ive been doing this for 15 years and never have an issue often spending 7-14 days in the woods with two pairs of socks two pairs of underwear. Baselayers, gloves, hat, jacket, pants etc. You rotate between your baselayer and your shirt. If you are running merino wool you are running a anti microbial system that as long as it gets air you are fine. I clip my socks and underwear to my pack for a few hours and its golden.

Ask any army medic their opinion on extra socks. As someone who has spent a lot of time outdoors for work as an infantryman I won't be caught dead without a few extra pairs of socks and a change of clothes in a dry bag if possible. Having stepped on a nail that went into my foot, if I didn't have an extra clean couple pairs of socks in my ruck to put on they'd have been infected. And in general not changing your socks atleast once a day while on the move is kinda disgusting and a great way to get all sorts of infections. Saving a few ounces not carrying socks is all well and good until the sole of you foot peels off, seen it happen quite a few times to soldiers. Take care of your feet when outdoors, they might be the only thing getting you out if you get in trouble.

However, I did an experiment once right after I bought my first pair of Merino wool socks and wore them every day doing brutal manual labour every day in the hot sun for two weeks without washing them once. By the end, they were so crusted with salt from my sweat they could stand on their own but didn't stink AT ALL, nor did my feet suffer at all, unlike when I wore regular socks.

The issue I have with that is I don’t want all the dirt, grime, sweat, and oils getting in and onto my quilt and sleeping pad…could just use a liner I guess, but a light weight liner and some light weight sleep clothes are about the same weight. So it comes down to preference… liner packs up smaller then the sleep clothes, but is an odd shape when stuffed in the little stuff sack and I don’t really like the idea of keeping it in my pack without the stuff sack considering I use a side entry pod for my quilt where as my sleep clothes can go into a hyperlite pod that fits perfectly into my hyper lite pack filling every bit of space. Sure there is a small weight penalty to using the pods however less effort and thought needs to go into packing my pack which I personally like. All my gear including clothing are relatively light weight therefore this system or way works for me.

Cotton kills. It absorbs all moisture. Outdoor clothes should be synthetic to dry faster. Hypothermia aint no joke

Linen is better than cotton if you absolutely have to go for natural fiber but properly cut & layered synthetics are much better

There is an old saying, “cotton kills.” It might be breathable but if it gets wet it’s going to stay wet and could cause hypothermia. I used to work for a large sporting goods store and all the old people who came in would always insist on cotton because they refused to let go of their outdated way of thinking and would not adopt the new technology. A lot of people want all natural but the quick drying and moisture wicking technology in athletic clothing now is so amazing.

I can't synthetic fiber because I feel I wear a plastic bag. I have few light weight cotton shirts with me always. Even if i am in town. Feels great to change into dry clothes

Merino wool socks are the BEST! There's a place nearby that has Merino sheep, and they'll make the socks and other things with the wool right there once they shear the sheep, so I'll get it straight from the source. They're amazing all around!

During my Kilimanjaro climb, what I would do was hang the previous day's base layers off my bag to let them dry and air out during the hike. Fortunately we ran into very little rain.

Always have wet and warm kit with you along with some foot powder and socks. I’ve woke up before shivering as my sleeping bag got compromised soaked through and soaked through my boots my extra gortex socks and foot powder saved my feet.

I use mountaineering socks - those look like what you have. They have wool that wicks the damp from the feet, and they dry fast too. I keep a pair in my suitcase for traveling to the north. No regrets!

For your socks, you can leave them hanging out around your belt to air and dry. Unless it rains or you go river-crossing, you'll have very nice and dry socks when you settle down.

I took 3 pairs for a 10 day threw hike. 2 good marina wool for hiking and a regular pair for camp. I would clean the dirty pair in a creek and then hang them off my pack during the day to dry. It worked great!

I did a 6 day trip and only had the clothes on my back plus a pair of items for sleeping in as well as an extra pair of socks and underwear. Pants and shirts, especially if made of quick drying materials and wool can be worn over and over again, plus you can wash your day use clothes and have them dry overnight in your tent.

If space is an issue for extra clothes, try the army roll folding bethod. It takes some time to do but works like a charm

Long cloth poncho that's breathable can act as a sleep gear and a spare clothes for emergency. Not exactly fashionable but can be useful and cover torso and most of legs depending on how long it is. Sew tie outs on it and put a zipper on the head and you got a potential backup emergency shelter part at least. I don't know about the spork though lol

I did the first 350 miles of the Colorado Trail with only 2 pairs of socks. Then I got an extra pair of pair, but mostly because 1 pair was toe socks and I wasn’t digging them.

Checks out. I always bring a good rain poncho. It can make a rain poncho of course but also, ground cover to lay on, wind block, sun shade, tent, makeshift jacket, first aid evac stretcher, flotation device to cross water, cut into strips for a splint,or tourniquet, signaling flag, if brightly colored, a hammock, a sack to carry extra items and a play station 4.😅

when we (father and I) go hiking it would always be a couple pairs of socks and a couple extra clothing items since we never went during the summer and its only the early parts of Autumn and late parts of Spring where its dry so 9/10 it would be wet and muddy somewhere. As for cutlery i mean we carried the stainless steel ones we use at home well I mean an older set. It really doesn't change much to warrant the likes of a plastic spork or something like that. We also never carried a drink bottle or camelback because majority of the area was rivers or creek walking so we just clipped our cup to our strap

I would say it depends on the hiking trip. If it’s just a weekend, 1 or 2 pairs of socks is fine. But I’ve done month long excursions and I’ll fill every extra inch with another pair of socks. After I get everything in my bag. All essential first aid and food and water purifying and fire starting. I’ve got an extra pocket? In goes a pair of socks in a zip lock bag with baby powder.

Pack a minimum 4 pairs of socks plus the ones on your feet. You don’t want trench foot; I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come across someone suffering from not taking care of their feet. I’d honestly pack another pair of socks vs another can of food
