I wear merino 99 % of the time. However Under Armour heat gear military socks are pretty good for an all synthetic. I’ve worn them overseas in the desert. That being said they will smell unlike merino.

Black Ovis, (before those pillow cases) but I’m curious if the expensive Kuiu or Eberlestock bags that are shaped, really help keep the weight up higher and more compact
I use a several smaller ones. I think it usually makes packing easier and you can separate things to make them easier find. Just an idea but I also tend to over pack if hunting from a truck
1. Cooking / food
2. General camp gear
3. Hunting specific
4. Truck tools / recovery
Black Ovid has a mid weight merino hoody. It’s on sale at Camofire a lot. I love mine.. but heavier merino takes forever to dry out if you sweat in it a lot. I prefer a merino base then using a synthetic like the Kuiu Peloton 200 hoody. It wicks and drys better
