Summer brings us many different outdoor activities. For my family in particular it brings the dreaded "Campingggg TRIPPPP"! Not only am I a big sissy when it comes to bugs and slimy crawly things but, I never seem prepared and always seem to forget something. Imagine packing up for a 3 day trip for 4 people, and forgetting tooth brushes, socks and deodorant?!?! Yep, that was me alright! I waited by the site praying that one of those mini vans packed with miscellaneous necessities would stop by our spot and some how have everything I was missing. So yes they had socks, some flimsy 3pk of white OTC tube socks in a dusty old bag. Seemed like a leftover from 1941..And of course they only have 1 package left why would they have more?!?! Ugh...Wear, Wash, Rinse, Dry and Reuse. That was my daily routine at the wash basin for my lovely camping trip! Come night fall I was freezing my tootsies off!! Who forgets socks!?!?! ME OF COURSE! What I would've given to have on a nice clean "just out of the dryer" pair of merino wool socks.
My poor dad although he seemed not affected by the cold damp night, I could tell he was wishing he had some warm socks too. Smartwool Socks makes the perfect camp site sock for me. It's called the Mountaineering Extra Heavy Mid calf, I love those socks! Bought a pair for everyone in the family for Christmas. It's called sharing the wealth! lol Pair them up with a comfy set of long johns like the Icetex Fleece Lined thermal underwear by Indera Mills and you're good to go! Of course most of our trip was spent by the camp fire roasting marshmallows and talking, I knew we really spent most of our time there for warmth! LOL Safe to say after this camping trip I opted for a new family outing. One that would require flip flops instead of Heavy Merino Wool socks and Bikinis instead of Thermal Underwear...Ahhh my kinda trip.
