[philmont] blisters

I had an excellent result last week on a heel blister which I had mistaken for a sore Achilles tendon (my mistake!) on a 50 mile trek at Ten Mile River Scout Camps, Greater New York Councils. I used a product known as Second Skin. It is a gel like substance in flat sheets which are cut to fit and then held in place with an adhesive patch which is included in the kit. Damp socks did not lessen the product's effectiveness in turning a bulging blister into dark sturdy skin.
