Default Rash

Here's an embarassing question.

When I do a lot of hunting/walking I sweat and develop a rash around the privates.[:'(] Going on a 5 day drop camp hunt can be a big challenge. Once I get a rash, and it doesn't take a lot, my walking is done.

Since it is not practical to pack in water supplies, etc. have any of you experienced this issue and have a solution.

I will take scent free wet wipes. I am thinking about buying bicycling shorts but don't know how much that will help. Since I can't take a ton of clothes I don't know how big a factor it is to keep wearingthe same underarmour type garmets I did the entire day or two before.

Anybody with a similar issue that found a solution. Thanks!

Walk bow legged like a cowboy.. keeps things from rubbing.
I've feltyour pain and don't have a cure other than to either shower or bath (in an ice cold creek)a time or two or be liberal with the wipes. I take some spray on anti scent which knocks down the stank somewhat on used clothes.. but I've learned that you just can't stay scentfree up in the mountains after several days or more of serious hiking... use the wind and stay upwind of your buddies!

I use anti bacterial wipes and make sure I use them after every #2 movement. Each night I use them in that whole area front and back and then put on some medicated powder to keep dry. It is important to stay ahead of any rash. Lots of walking up steep hills causes sweat and you have to learn to stop a rash from developing. I layer and never walk without going lite on the cloths.

I'm not sure what's out there, but you may be able to find an undergarment that wicks away moisture. That may help keep the rash at bay. If not, you could take extra shorts and change, just like socks, when you feel they are getting damp with sweat.

It may be elastic causing the problems too.
Some people are boxers, some are briefs...Cabela's put out a comfortable pair of wicking briefs with scent-eliminator.
It's the MTP series IIRC.
