Ty pokes a few buttons on the smart phone that’s connected to the entertainment system, and the cats roll out one-by-one to a soundtrack courtesy of the brothers Allman.

I've used various house slippers from Depreso-Mart..., they tend to work the best as long as they have waterproof sole. Some people dig down booties, but with all that down my feet usually get too hot while in the hut. I usually shoot for the best combination of waterproof/breathable/comfortable/lightweight and go with that. During my most recent trip, my buddy used some Sanuks and was really happy. I think i might try some next trip.

Thinking of picking up some Crocs even though I normally can't stand them... anything better out there in terms of lightweight and sole durability?
