Don't forget a pair for sleeping in when it's cold. I keep those in my sleeping gear, but only when it's cold. And, this pair is looser than the ones I wear in my boots.


I use three pair - wearing one, 1 is drying on my pack (held on with safety pins) and a third in my pack. I hate putting on wet socks in the morning. I'll rinse out the pair that I wore that day and hang them over the ridge line of my tarp. I attach them to my pack the next morning when I get ready to leave. They dry out pretty quick in the sun when they're hanging on the pack.
