Just curious......
 

I can't be the only one who's nose runs constantly when it's cold out and I'm on stand. Last Saturday I was on stand for 11.5 hours without getting out of the tree. It was snowing when we headed in and snowed straight until 10:30ish, when it turned into sleet/freezing rain for the rest of the day. My nose ran the entire time, and by dark the back of both jacket sleeves were stiff as a board [8D], and my nose was as raw as you can imagine. Even today, my nose is so raw from last week, I had to blow my nose earlier today and it was so sensitive that it made my eyes water touching it with the tissue.

What do you use to blow/wipe your nose on stand when it's bitter? Does anyone else have this problem? Any thoughts?

What is this cold you speak of? It is 86 degrees outside my office right now. [:@]

I find a hankerchief works best. Usually if you send them through the wash a couple of times they are pretty soft and easy on the nose.

I feel your pain. This year I havent had to worry, it has not gotten cold here yet. But yea, that drive me crazy. I try to keep a hanky with me when im in the field.

It kinda creates a little "funnel".....your upper lip cleft does!;)

j/k

I was JUST KIDDING!!!

I've never sat that long.....but I usually just use the back of my glove.

sorry

I will also put some scent free lotion in a film tube, the real small ones, and take it on stand with me, so you can lotion up your nose once it begins to get raw. I have had times where skin breaks and i begin to bleed because the skin is so dry...and believe me, that HURTS

Yea, get a big hankerchief. It will last a full day unless you have a really bad cold
