[philmont] blisters

Interesting!

All kidding aside...what weight of hose did they use?

Not that I'm overly familiar with this but I thought there are different
thicknesses.

Replies would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Just returned from the ranch and two advisors from our contingent had
adopted a new liner approach-- they used ladies' nylon knee-high stockings
inside a regular hiking sock (one used smartwool, don't know what the other
was using).

Zero blisters for either of them, this despite the
fact that one of the guys has had blisters on
virtually every hike I've ever been on with him
(despite having tried a wide variety of boots, socks,
etc, etc).

Efficient in every way-- weight, bulk, cost, ease of
washing, drying time. Color didn't make a difference
on performance, but I thought the tan looked nicest :)
