Thread: Wool or bamboo socks

How many of us wear two pairs of socks to prevent blisters?

Mostly washing was in the creeks before starting evening wood cutting and brew up. One time after walking across Hanamahihi flats we found we were covered in ticks / lice. Swannies et al were tied down under the river overnight to get rid of them; a real pissoff cos they were not only wet but cold and heavy next morning. The most embarassing thing was going into chemist when in town to buy clear fingernail polish. Used this to reseal old battered scope when it fogged up. Dried out near fire till fog gone then painted the stuff on around ocular rim to reseal.

Enjoyed all of it actually. There were some very solid people out there and it was challenging to keep up with some of them and interesting learning from their skills. Some good memories and many life lessons learned.
