Reddit mentions of Darn Tough Men's Merino Wool Hiker Micro Crew Sock Cushion, Black, Medium

My shoes don't smell! I wear the best merino wool socks on the market.

For my department I basically mirror what I wear for the feds.

Brush pants

Brush shirt

Helmet

Gloves


Boots

Socks (Over top of a cheap pair of cotton socks)

Pack (Since I'm guessing you probably don't get far from your engine for any length of time you could probably get away with a simple engine IA pack)

Hydration Kit (6L with converter kit) (camelbak bladder works just as well, or a couple of nalgene water bottles)

We do a lot of wildland fires as a department and often go out of the area for 2 weeks at a time. Well other members do but since I'm working for the feds I don't go unless it's pre or post season.

My go to are the Darn Tough Men's Solid Basic Crew Light (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0100LOO6O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I wear these with 8 last boots. For 23 Last boots, I can get by with thicker socks which are a little too snug for me in the 8 last. Their hiking line works for those boots but I find they are unbearably warm during warmer weather. Winter socks only: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XFZY1M/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XG1BC2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't use Instagram, and unfortunately I'm pretty sure the photo groups might not either. I'm not on Facebook too often anymore either though (mostly just checking in with various businesses these days). I'll see if there's some other way to contact them.

I just found this helpful site that will give a bit more info on what types of things to wear:

For boots I found this pair of Kamiks that aren't too expensive:

Baffin is big up here, and Sorel used to be but I'd stay away from that brand since they were bought out by a company that's manufacturing them overseas now. Baffins are quite a bit more expensive, and since you aren't staying up here very long I don't think you need to be spending quite that much on footwear.

Don't forget good socks too. I found a few on Amazon that might work:

As for jackets, that's really up to your preference. Marmot, Patagonia, and Carhartts are popular up here. You can never go wrong with Carhartts in Alaska lol. Get the one big, heavy, outer jacket, and bundle up with under layers like fleece and wool.

If you have any sporting goods stores down there I'd recommend giving them a visit to see if they have any good stuff too. They might be able to give you some information on what to look for too. If all else fails, you can wait to purchase things when you get up here, but it will be more expensive; on the other hand, you'll be able to talk to knowledgeable people about what to buy.
