This is not my best hack but its one that is fresh in my mind. To prevent chafing, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or similar to areas prone to chafing. For me this is usually between my thighs and occasionally under your arms. It reduces friction and helps prevent chafing that can make or break your day. It’s broken mine on a few occasions.

Can you support me?
I've built this site as a free community service as I'm passionate about the outdoors and getting people out into nature, safely and with confidence. This is a hobby and not a business so I don't have the the financial backing that companies do, so any financial support you can offer is really appreciated.
