Silver linings have been few in such a crummy winter, but I think I finally found one: I’m basically getting another year of life out of all my best socks.
In my conversation with winter camper and survivalist Scott Oeth a couple years ago (Getting cold feet?, 11/21/21), I learned tons about keeping my feet warm. Boots are of course important. But the right socks, as well as knowing how best to use them, are critical. They’ll make or break you—especially in winter.
Since then, I’ve come to think of socks as the unsung heroes of my adventuring wardrobe.”
