I started the CDT with the same desert hiking pants I used on the PCT only 
this time the sewn in mesh liners were causing chafing.  Not only that but, the 
tip of my winkie was bleeding.  Ouch!  I cut out the liners which helped for 
the chafing but didn't help my other problem.  Too much movement.  

A day or two later, at the first town we hit, I went into K-Mart and bought a 
pair of Hanes cotton boxer shorts which solved my problems and lasted the 
entire trail.
