Glad you are getting to hike around your home! You have a warm front coming your way. We did not get above freezing yesterday, but today in the 50’s today and in the 60’s tomorrow. Happy Hiking!
PT - what type of shoes/boots are you wearing if you please, and how do you protect your feet on multi-day hikes in that type of watery terrain. I have had one or two days in storms/slough-type weather terrain but then was able to dry out everything and continue dry hiking without worrying too much about continued wet feet. You have continued to hit these wading patches that must play havoc on your feet and footwear so very curious. Thanks for a response and have a great zero-day.
I'm wearing Altra Olympus shoes, I am getting ready to switch off to a pair of Brooks Caldera 5's as soon as my Altras wear out. I have 3 pair of socks that I use while out on a long stretch. I usually switch them out every 2 or 3 days. At night I make sure my feet are clean by wiping them down with a wet wipe, and I don't sleep in socks unless it is real cold so my feet dry out over night.
Hi 👋🏻 PT! I have a question about your drinking water while hiking. Most people I know won’t drink Florida water unless it’s bottled water. What are you using to filter your water and does it remove foul taste 👅 associated with Florida water? Second question do you do any special foot treatment where you are hiking 🥾 in so much deep water? Hike~~ON~~>
I haven't run across any foul water. I use the Sawyer squeeze and so far it has worked out just fine. Sometimes you run across what we call sulfer water, and it smells bad, but the taste is ok. I grew up here so I'm used to it. For my feet, each evening I clean them with a wet wipe, I sleep with no socks on unless it's super cold, so my feet dry out, and I'm carrying 3 pair of socks instead of 2. I put on a clean pair every 2 or 3 days.

Funny I was just thinking what a wonderful relaxing day and you finish in the slop. God Bless
the advantage of hiking in the cold front wintertime is you dont have to be worried about getting eaten by the gators!
And bugs
Ya got slimed lol… that was a prettier day!

florida has the most natural springs than any other state in the usa
Or curl up with the snakes? Look out for the dropping iguanas! Mtn Goat
I heard about that. Luckily I'm a little too far north for iguana.
DOOD!
