[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 307458, member: 11717"] Plus one... I met a Marine Lt Col once who said what he and a lot of other marines wear is their wife's nylons when going on long marches. the Marines know all about hiking and backpacking, they make a living of it. Blisters are caused by the friction of your foot moving in the boot. Nylon stockings or sheer nylon socks as a liner under your socks is the best way to stop that friction. I was on a 20 mile hike through the mountains once with a gal friend, she started to get a blister after about 5 miles. I had a pair of nylon sock liners and she put one on her foot that was getting a blister. She finished the hike and the blister did not form. Stick with the nylons. I've tried duck tape a couple of times while back country skiing and the tape worked fine until it lost its stickiness and rubbed off. I've tried mole skin too and it did not work very well.
