Met a guy on the Lost Coast Trail who swore by hiking in jeans
Ran into him at the Mattole River camp last fall, and he was wearing full denim. He said he'd hiked the entire 25 mile stretch in them for over a decade, claiming they're tougher than any hiking pants. I argued that cotton is a terrible idea for coastal fog, but he just laughed and said his legs were fine. It stuck with me because everyone online says that's a huge mistake. Has anyone else met someone with a backpacking habit that goes totally against the common advice?

My grandpa logged the whole PCT in flannel shirts.

How many flannels did he go through on that hike?
