86. Sleeping socks

I bring one pair of socks specifically for sleeping. These are a wool blend, a bit thicker and slightly roomy. I want to spend my time in the sleeping bag with warm, dry feet, and I don’t want any constriction. These socks are multiuse because I can hike in them too, especially on the last day of a trip.

Here’s a typical bit of my sock logic: When I lie down on my pad and prepare to sleep, I take off my thinny-thin socks and put them in my pants pocket, even if they are a little damp. If they are sopping wet, I stick them in my shoes instead. I take a moment to inspect my feet, checking for blisters, hot spots, and dirt. I’ll do a little cleaning, usually with the socks I took off or maybe with a bandana. If there is a need, I’ll smear a little bit of Hydropel onto any spots that might be showing signs of friction. I prefer to do this at bedtime. Then I put on my sleeping socks and enjoy the night.
