Yes, another good use for lip balm.

While it seems wimpy to be concerned with issue that are often considered minor discomforts, beneath notice for real men, IMHO minor comfort issues are often harbingers of bigger problems down the road.

There is a saying that says: 'It isn't the mountains that wear you down so much as the pebble in your boot'.

Minor issues like a sunburn, badly cracked lips, or a stove you can't get to work right, can make you miserable, and rob you of sleep, strength and focus. Only made worse when the situation is a real emergency.
