[pct-l] Chaffing Skin in the Desert

[brian at ancientbrit-adventures.com]

If you are worried about chafing skin inside the thighs perhaps you could 
show more imagination or daring with your choice of clothing.
An increasing number of ladies are hiking in skirts and a few men have 
through-hiked in kilts. For the daring the old indian breach-clout could be 
an idea.
If these garments are worn without underpants you will get plenty of 
ventilation and chafing should be a minimum.
