Backpacking Sucks: Dealing with Injuries, Chafing, Blisters & Other Pain

You all know the drill — welcome back to the series where I complain about backpacking and talk about what we can do about it. These tips come from my personal experience and what works for me, but as with ALL my videos, please take what works for you and leave what doesn’t. Today, I’m talking all about how much the aches and pains of backpacking suck, and how to deal with them. Specifically, how to deal with blisters while backpacking, how to deal with chafe while backpacking, how to deal with (and prevent) sunburn while backpacking, how to deal with dry skin & chapped lips while backpacking, how to deal with (and prevent) injuries while backpacking, and how to deal with foot pain while backpacking. Blisters, chafing, sunburn, dry skin, chapped lips, injuries, and foot pain are all sucky experiences I’ve had in the backcountry. But none of them are without solutions. I hope this video helps you have a better time while backpacking and deal with the different maladies that can come up on your trip!
