What does that beauty weigh?

I should have noticed you are from South Carolina. No need for liner socks there.

Happy wife, happy life.😊

Do you wear any kind of liner sock with them or just the merino wool sock?

They do make cotton socks in black also.

These darn tough socks are only 43% wool. They may last longer due to the synthetic fiber content but they will not be as warm.

Yesterday’s sap after finish boil. It is getting darker. On the downhill side of the run now.

Anything in 358 caliber. I like big holes on both sides leads to shorter blood trails and less blood shot meat.

Almost forgot another important quality. It only weighs 6.25 lbs, and balances right at the magazine.
