[pct-l] Switchback's Spray Bottles

[herbstroh at charter.net]

I have to agree with Diane. In the Grandcanyon I soak a bandana and wrap it
round
my neck. I have also wet a t-shirt and stuck it in a zip lock for blessed
coolness miles and hours from any water source.

Not to be a downer on Switchback's ideas, because his spray bottles  
will likely prove useful to many, but I carried a small spray bottle  
and never used it. I thought it would keep me cool in the desert to  
spray a little water in my face. What I ended up doing was dunking my  
hat and long-sleeved shirt in every creek I could find. Wet clothing  
was very cooling.

Here's something valuable I did discover: hand sanitizing gel removes  
pine sap from your hands. I got pine sap all over my hands one night.  
I mean the entire palms and fingers of both hands were completely  
covered in it. I was really worried I'd be left without the use of my  
hands because of it. I tried the gel and the sap came off like a  
miracle.
