[pct-l] Foot care secrets in the desert

[msaenz at mve-architects.com (Mike Saenz)]

Not that this is desert specific, but:
I carry "Nuskin", one of those liquid membrane products that cover of cuts, scrapes, etc.
I can honestly claim that I've never gotten a blister hiking (tennis, yes. Hiking, no). But it seems that at least one person I a group I'm with will get one. And the common lament is that moleskin doesn't stay in place.
So,
Clean affected foot area well. Apply a bit of Nuskin. Place moleskin over it.
The moleskin will stay in place for the rest of the day, sometimes the next.

I have never had moleskin work for me.  I carry duct tape, high quality
thick stuff, to reduce heat on hot spots, and even over a blister if it
hasn't popped yet, and over a blister that I've lanced.  Duct tape will stay
on with sweaty feet.  Moleskin never did for me...
