[pct-l] socks

[tom aterno]

Sherry,

I think Dahlgren has socks at least partially made of alpaca wool.  They are 
very soft and comfortable, but not very durable.  Had holes in the heels from 
just day hikes, one summer.

I like Smartwool and a new brand, Teko (I think that is their name).  Teko 
reviews say they are the longest lasting of the wool socks.  I hope they are 
long lasting, since they cost about $16 a pair.  They are also very 
comfortable.  


I don't use inflatable pads.  I am comfortable with Gossamer Gear's Nightlite 
pad.  Nothing to do but roll it out at the end of the day.  I also use it to 
crash after climbing a long uphill section.  



The Incredible Bulk

1. I read recently about preferred socks.  I think there was one that was alpaca 

and wool.  Could anyone out there give me an idea of good quality socks and 
where to get them?
2. My husband has decided to go backpacking with me.  Yeah!  Which sort of 
inflatable pad would someone recommend.
3. Has anyone tried dehydrating spaghetti?  How did that turn out?

Thanks, Sherry
