Thanks for the report, Drake.
If you see this... regarding the chafing... Proper underwear will help if it is actual chafing. I use synthetic boxers after experiencing a serious problem where I had to beg for a roll of stretch bandaging to wrap around my thigh. But the other issue is that, when hiking, some people experience a tiny amount of "leakage", and that crap can create a raw burning that just gets worse and worse as you push on. If or when that occurs, it is best to take a break, use wet TP or wet wipes, and really clean up the area. That has always worked for me.
