Do you attend to your equipment after a good hike?
>>2847294I've never heard of these. I just wear cheap kenetreks
>>2847294No you LARPing gear queer
>>2847296>larp>10 minutes of brushing and applying wax Come on now
>>2847296Alright you caught me. I don't actually go on hikes anymore because it's boring. I just wear my boots to work and then oil them when I'm done. Stealth boot threads though!
>>2847294tent and sleeping bag etc, sure because they'll stink and gets uncomfortable if you don't clean them. boots though, who the hell gives a fuck
>>2847297>brushing If they are really dirty>applying waxonce or twice a year
>>2847294>bootslel
>>2847294I take care of my boots every other month after they get caked in mud. Clean em up, leather lotion em, shoe-glue any spots that are ripping. They've lasted me so much longer than when I use to just beat them up without caring for em.
>>2847294You should if the mud is bad and fresh. Dry mud is a bitch to get off and can ruin leather. Expensive shoes are good to maintain.I also find it relaxing to take care of my equipment. Cleaning guns, sharpening knives, and polishing/waxing my boots are my favs.
>>2847294sure, at least brush off the mud

No, that's what my husband would do if I had one (I am male). I just throw my hiking sneakers in a bag and they wait for my next adventure
>>2847640You tried, I guess.
Never ever. Not my boots, backpack, trekking poles, gaiters, crampons, snowshoes etc. Maybe once or twice I hosed them down. They just stay dirty in the garage. To be honest I never thought to. I'm sure it's a good idea but my stuff lasts a very long time without doing this. I don't think washing my footwear would make it last longer as it's large tears or the sole wearing out that has made me get new ones in the past.
