How to always have dry socks with only two pairs
On longer Pacific Northwest snow climbs such as Mt. Shasta and Mt. Rainier, (not to mention longer expeditions) keeping your feet in good shape can be a challenge. Even with modern boots, your socks and feet will get progressively more wet if you don’t take proactive steps to dry them.
Here’s a tip to have dry socks every day on milti-day snow climbs, while bringing only two pairs.
Wear a pair of socks (pair 1), get them wet.
Hang pair 1 up in the tent that night and all next day.
In the morning, put on pair 2.
That night, hang pair 2, and put pair 1 in the sleeping bag with you, and put a hot water bottle inside each sock (preferred), or put the socks on your belly. (This is a perfect use for a 20 oz. Gatorade bottle, a great water container we talk about in this Tip.)
Repeat indefinitely.
