He hardly ever gets blisters....
Short cuts...

I wonder what he will do when he gets to a team and finds himself in a situation where he cannot wear 2 pairs of socks or carry enough spares to supplement wearing more than one pair.

Guys, when it comes to socks and boots the best bet is to toughen your feet a bit. We dont always have the pleasure of wearing multiple pairs of socks or packing enough for that... Also, there are plenty of places it is counter productive to wear more than one pair. What then???
