This helps a little......but it does help.

"It's a soda. A citrus soda to be precise. It's a lemon, lime, and orange trifecta of surprisingly good that delights and refreshes the taste buds."  ;D

Never heard of it before. Sounds good though will have to look around for some. Thx ;D

Good explanation Ga Mtn Man!


 

I've never seen any [or if I did never paid attention] but will be looking for some now.

At the end of my mill I have a small table that I set my blades and gloves on, they spend all day in the sun. I went to put on a new blade and my gloves were so hot that I needed a pair of gloves to protect my hands from my gloves.

Well Jake....you are in good hands. Send $229.95 and I will send you your very on

Keeps your gloves nice and cool and your blades cool too.

But hurry.....I only have a limited supply.....they're going fast!

[customsawyer]

Are they going like doughnuts? :D

That's a handy gadget. I sometimes use a deep cycle battery and inverter. Wonder how the storage capacity of the all in one units compare?

Whenever it gets this hot, the sweat  gets me soaked like it's raining. After that the chaffage starts from all the friction of walking.  It gets so bad by evening time my SO says I'm walking like I just got out of the rodeo.  She's embarrassed to go out in public with me cause I can barely walk. :D She thinks it's funny.  Anybody have this issue and a solution to prevent or relieve the after effect? I've tried the cornstarch, baby powder, and you name it.  I've just come to deal with it.  I hope this isn't an inappropriate topic.

Goldbond Medicated?  Haven't tried it but their ads tell me it works. ;)  : ;D  I remember it (chaffing) was a huge issue with some guys during long bivouac hikes in basic and AIT training.  Not fun. :(

Here are a couple of links to "Gold Bond" threads:  LINK and LINK

Lately the humidity has been really bad here. The heat isn't what gets you, it's the humidity!!

All these help. 1. boxers instead of briefs (better ventilation), 2. shorts instead of pants if you don't need the long pants to protect your legs from scratchies, 3. Gold Bond does work, helps a lot.

GB helps after the fact and prolongs it for a few hours in the morning but doesn't stop chaffing for long working days, which most working days are. Maybe my legs are too big, and the rubbing feels like a brush burn.  It's not jock itch, no itching, just red and painful for a few days.

Loose clothes are terrible for me because the dripping wet fabric rubs more. 

Wearing shorts is not an option.  :(  In fact I almost always wear long sleeves, thick pants, and many times a sweet shirt for protection. 

I guess I just have to man up and deal with it as part of life.

[Raider Bill]

On long rides many use something like these. They are made out of a Lycra material and stop chaffing.

There are different Companies that make the same thing. 

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Just use plain Baby Powder. That medicated stuff will burn! 

[beenthere]

The "thick pants" may be a problem.

Have you tried panty hose? 

Just don't tell anyone. ;)

[Magicman]

Have you tried panty hose?  Just don't tell anyone. ;) 

Now I am wondering how you know  ???   ;D

[beenthere]

 ;D  I don't, but then my legs don't chafe.

[mesquite buckeye]

Sounds like a hint to drop some weight. That also helped for me.

[Jemclimber]

Panty hose???   :D  The misses will think I have some strange fetish and maybe start following me to see if I'm really out removing trees. I do like the spandex idea Bill. I'm going to get some and try it. Thanks.

Loose weight? probably couldn't hurt, but even 10 lbs lighter when I was a lean 200, I still had serious chaffing. I'm told my legs are big, but when you walk up and down trees on a regular basis they just tend to stay that way. I'm 210 and carry about 30lbs in equipment when I swing around.  I'm not sure how to get them to shrink down.  :D  I'm going to try the underarmour  and I'll report back.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I will not add a punch line to Beenthere and Magicman referring to their panty hoses.
I will be sent to the WOOD SHED!   smiley_ignore

But I'm laughing about it!  :D

[customsawyer]

In the heat while you are sweating all the powder isn't going to help. Try a little Vaseline. ;)
