Mr. Rawles:
Regarding Fitzy’s letter “Practice Night Hiking to Get Ready to Bug Out to Your Retreat”, he mentioned that he was worried about his dog’s being cut by broken glass on roads and trails. Here is a product that folks might want to keep in hand if they travel with a dog: Musher’s Secret [1]. – Paulette
Sir:
Regarding the letter “Practice Night Hiking to Get Ready to Bug Out to Your Retreat”I would not recommend the use of Vaseline to prevent chafing. However, if you look online or drop in at a bike shop there are products specifically made for this purpose.
One is BodyGlide anti-chafe balm [2], and another is Chamois Butter [3].
There are others but you get the idea. Could come in handy. Some people use these to prevent or treat foot blisters as well. – Kathryn D.
