I used to use Nike Aquasox but now I use racing flats for cross country.
They can be had for 5-6 ounces per shoe.

Surf socks weigh ~16 oz. Get 'em at Rite-Aid. That's if you think you need
camp shoes; some folks can live in their 805s 24/7, whereas others feel the
need to get out of those stinky things into something--anything--different.

You'll regret it more if you *don't* take the apples.

At ADZPCTKO IV, Cupcake showed his NBCS (nut butter container system), which
is made from a baby bottle liner. You can see a picture at
