Good socks

[headspace]

I've been trying out some new socks lately, they're made of bamboo and I have to say they do pretty well. For a start, the stinky sock thing at the end of the day's hunting seems to have gone, plus they tend to keep your feet cooler in hot weather as well. I'm waiting for things to cool down a bit more to find out if they keep your toes warm in winter, but I don't think they work both ways.

I've just heared about bamboo socks too, was told that they are excellent.

I tried some but could not find ones thick enough.

I love my bamboo socks! Just ones from target. Way more comfortable.

Hi guys
Ive been reading the forum for about a week now, some good info and good conversation (but this is the internet! That's not supposed to exist on the internet!) so i thought id join.

I've always had huge problems with holes in my socks, normally only get to wear a pair about three times before a hole appears in the heel, and holeproof were amongst the worst.

Anyway, i've come across a cheapie brand in big w called darn tough, and so far no holes!

If anyone else has problems with holes, these might be worth checking out.

Mate you need to manscape those spurs on ya heels. Get the big flat file out of the work shop and get stuck in. Or maybe some sandpaper.

Tried a beltsander but it broke under the load

Do they really make Bamboo Socks?

[headspace]

They do Franky, in fact lots of things are made from bamboo. I've got a couple of shirts and shorts too. You just don't want to go near any Panda's.

wool is the best for cold weather and a good pair of boots with at least 1000grams of thinsulate and you can stay out all day

[Franky]

These might be a little to hot for over here Wrenchman? Although down on the farm it gets mighty cold in winter

[wrenchman]

i have to say i dont no how cold it gets there .
We get cold here and can be real brutal some time.

It doesn't compare to part of North America and Canada but southern-most parts of Australia routinely drop to -5c or -10c overnight in the colder months. That's Sydney, most of Victoria, ACT and Tasmania.

That's about -15 to -20 Fahrenheit if I have my math right.

[Tonit]

That's about -15 to -20 Fahrenheit if I have my math right.

Google says correct

[headspace]

Sorry Carter old mate but I think there's been a calculation misadventure, I'm sure that minus 5 or 10C is a lot warmer than minus 15 F. Have to check, I'll get back to you.

Don't check.... Hold out and make him convert to metric

Get on board America

I use bamboo socks when I go snowboarding. They are the best, no bad foot smell and they keep my feet warm aswell

[RDobber]

When it's real cold they're easily the best option.

[headspace]

Just had a look, that bag I bought is marked minus 20 deg C, minus 5 deg F. Damn I'm going to be warm!

Stick a leg out the side of the bag, it'll be right

[headspace]

Thanks hoot, might be more than a bloody leg.

Maybe wear the sleeping bag like a beanie and see how that goes

[headspace]

Then my arse will get a chill, could try using bamboo socks.

[wictor]

Regular old thick Bonds here.

[tom604]

well i have just tried the bamboo socks and they are very comfy and warm, they do stay wet for a long time so if your going to get your feet wet take lots of socks

You sure you lot are cut out for camping? This is sounding complicated for putting some socks on and going to sleep
