hey guys John Faulkner here with
survival dispatch and I got another
important video for you guys if you guys
have been around the channel for a long
time you know I do a ton of hiking a ton
of rucking we do 50 mile go ruck events
and things like that and me Chris
weatherman Charlie hog would were always
talking about feet preparation and one
of the biggest things that is overlooked
when we're talking about bug-out bags
and things like that are a good pair of
socks and if you've been around like I
said you've heard us talk about darn
tough socks these are these are wool
socks that all three of us recommend you
know if you were to just say dude what's
one company of socks that I know is
going to be comfortable they're going to
last and you know they're gonna do what
I need to do not cause hot spots or
anything like that on my feet I tell
people all the time darn tough sucks and
a lot of people say but John they're
kind of expensive I mean I can go buy
some you know ten pack of Hanes cotton
socks from you know the store for the
price of one pair of darn tough socks
and I've told people over and over again
yeah but there's one thing that these
socks have that all those other cheap
socks don't and that's a lifetime
warranty so I got two pairs of socks
here I think both of these are probably
in the neighborhood of two years old or
so they're pretty beat as you can see
this used to be a really nice gray and
it's pretty much been matted down to
absolutely nothing but over just the the
miles and pond miles that I've put on
these socks I wear these socks to work
every day I wear them when I go on the
trail everything like that you know
everything is is bound to to break we
say that all the time on this channel
and voila we're starting to get a hole
in the bottom of this sock now when you
take those cheap socks that you bought
from the store what you would do is is
you take all four of these socks you
just throw them in the trash can and
you'd go buy more socks but not with
darn tough with their lifetime warranty
all you got to do is fill out a simple
warranty card on their website put your
socks in a box with that return envelope
and ship them off to them and what are
they gonna do they're gonna send you a
brand new pair of the same exact socks
that you bought so when you buy a pair
of socks you have a pair of socks for
life your dog chews a hole in them you
wear them out
anything like that a stitch rips seam
starts to rip put them in a box send
them back too darn tough and they'll
send you a new pair
there's even stores like REI and stuff
where I could walk in if there was one
near me I could walk in and hand them
this pair of socks they will take a
brand new pair off the rack hand it to
me and they will send it back for you
same with if you're like hiking the
Appalachian Trail a lot of the trail
stores along the way will take your used
socks that have issues with them and
they'll give you a brand new pair so you
can keep going on a trail and that's why
I try to lean people towards darn tough
socks this isn't a call to action a
sales pitch but people ask all the time
you know why do you why do you buy more
expensive socks and this is the reason
so you know you can see on this one I
kind of got a little hole in the back
these ones I got a whole you know just
under the ball of my foot so so these
are gonna get up in a box doing it sent
back and what we're gonna do is we're
just gonna kind of track it for you guys
so we're gonna ship them out today and
we'll see how long it takes for me to
get some new socks so if you're in the
market for new socks I can't say enough
about darn tough go check them out
especially for you know things like a
bug out bag you know you got to make
sure that you're taking care of your
feet because if your feet get messed up

as you guys just saw two weeks ago I
sent out the socks that I had pretty
much worn out and I actually did a
little bit of research for you guys I
was able to go through my Amazon account
where I originally bought the socks and
I bought those socks February of 2016 I
bought eight pairs at the time and I
pretty much wear those socks once or
twice every single week so I mean they
got days upon days on them including
hiking and rucking and camping and all
kinds of stuff and I finally wore some
holes out as you saw so I sent them away
seven days later I got an email from
darn tough stating that hey
model of sock was no longer made so they
couldn't just swap him out for me seeing
that I bought them over three years ago
for almost four years ago I didn't
really give him a hard time about it and
they literally just said in the email
just go on our website pick out two new
pairs of socks use this coupon code that
they gave me in the email and three days
later I had two brand new pairs of
merino wool
darn tough socks delivered to my door
you guys say like why do you love darn
tough so much this is why they even took
a model they didn't have anymore and
they just said John just go go pick
whatever ones you want and I thought it
was awesome when I got the box right on
the front it says still made in Vermont
USA guaranteed for life and that was
just it was super cool you know they
didn't give me a hard time minute
they just said hey thank you for your
amazing faithfulness to our product go
get some new socks and three days later
I had two brand new pairs of socks so
when you guys say like man is it really
worth you know sixteen or eighteen
dollars for one pair of socks
well these socks that are brand new I
bought three almost four years ago and
I'm still wearing them and they're brand
new so these will probably last me three
or four more years and when they get a
hole in them I'm gonna send these back
and get a brand new pair so yeah it's
worth the money and they're super
comfortable so if you guys are
interested you know I get zero affiliate
zero kickback but I would say check out
darn tough socks I think they're awesome
you're supporting an american-made
company and getting a fantastic product
so I hope you guys like this video and I
just wanted to give you guys a quick
follow-up and until next time be safe
