My regular everyday work socks are Darn Tough Paul Bunyan. They are fine down to freezing or so. On really cold days, I wear Darn Tough T4050’s. They are big and fluffy. Super comfortable.
The T4050’s are about 1.25” taller than a 18”Lacrosse Grange. The Paul Bunyans are dead even with the top of the boots.
Biggest thing with Darn toughs is to not put them in the dryer. I’m lazy and tend to dry them on low, but to really get the most out of them, air dry only. They seem to wear in and get thinner over time. Still functional, but not a comfortable as brand new.

I’ve posted this before, so some people have probably already seen it… For socks, I like Sitka. I have Darn tough too, but I only wear them if I’m camping and all my Sitka socks are dirty.
What I do, is take a hot hands insole warmer, and fold it over my toes. You have to take them out the pack at least 30 minutes before folding them over your toes and putting your boots on. This is the most important part. If they’re not fully activated before you put your boots on, they won’t work nearly as well. I don’t wear insulated boots, ever. Tomorrow morning is gonna be 18° and I’ll have on my non-insulated lacrosse boots, with insole warmers folded over my toes. Here’s a picture for reference.

Problem is in South Louisiana, we need these clothes for one hunt a year. Hard to justify spending good money of clothes that collect dust.
With that said, after this weekend of freezing my ______ off, I need to come up with a plan for warmth before next season.

New Zealand 100% Possum Down Socks.
Discovered these around 10 years ago.
Not good for hiking or backpacking as they don't have the moisture wicking abilities of Merino Wool but for around the camp, in the tent or around the house they are super thick, comfy and insanely warm.
The New Zealand Possum is different from the garbage rat possums we have here.
For hiking and backpacking the Vermont made Darn Tough Light hikers are the best but, for the love of god, don't ever put anything merino wool in the dryer unless its just on the no heat fluff cycle. Beside massive shrinking you will instantly destroy the wool's moisture wicking properties which is why you spent so much money on them in the first place.
