Hiker hack: Butt chafing

Another quick and easy hiker hack for you to prevent butt chafing. 

I usually have the problem at the beginning when I start hiking or (like now) when it is really hot. I swet, my underwear gets wet and then it's rubbing and my butt is chafing.

Easy solution, when you notice this is happening: get rid of your underwear :)
And put some creme on it at night.
I've heard some people to successfully use vaseline, but never tried it myself!

Another hiker hack in this context:
How to quickly take off your underwear without having to take off your shoes or pants.

Lower your pants and underwear. Squeeze one foot through your underwear. Now you can already pull up your pants again and hide your butt from potential hikers coming around the corner :) Then let the underwear drop down through the other pantleg and Voila!

Just remember when you go shopping next time, that if you lost weight and you loosen your hip belt, your pants might drop and you might be the attraction of the store ;) Never really happened to me, but certainly had some close ones!!!
