If anything like that - to pour the folds of skin mashed in the dust-dry tinder fungus, fireweed fluff (willow-herb), sphagnum moss. Sphagnum moss is widespread in the swamps, it has a red or yellow hue. his tear, cleaned of rough bottom of the stem, squeeze hands and dried in air. then ground, to do as gently as possible and gentler. This moss absorbs moisture and contains substances, killing microflora festering wounds, scratch, cuts.

Usually on the march and in a temporary shelter no opportunity to wash with hot soapy water, washing laundry, hair cutting and shaving. Nevertheless, compliance with certain rules of hygiene is strictly necessary.

At first, leaving the raid (campaign) must be short haircut, shave off his mustache (if they were), cut as short as possible nails on the fingers and toes. We must always take care, to underwear and socks (footcloths) remain clean and dry. Least, needed daily during halts (overnight) shake out clothes, footwear and underwear, ventilate and dry them. Hand wash at least a cold water or wipe them disinfectants (alcohol, gasoline, manganese, aftershave cream, etc.. d.). If the weather permits, and environmental conditions, required to swim in natural bodies of water with clean water or organize extremities hot water wash, and washing clothes.

Secondly, should be avoided chafing feet. leg abrasions usually occur from improperly fitted shoes, from the long circulation in a wet shoes, from the inability to wind puttee, on, that toenails are too big and dirty.

must, the shoe was always dry, raznošennoj, without folds and irregularities within. Heading into training raid, and even more so on a combat mission, better shoe good shoes, than boots. Good, which means strong, with sturdy lacing (no "sticky"!) and high. Each scout must have at least two pairs of sneakers in their personal property (You do not have to wait for their acquisition by the command of the military unit).

Daily skin care and toes is strictly necessary.

With bad legs intelligence is not intelligence, and a burden for the other members of the group. In war, because of this "invalid" can be simply killed all. One means of preventing fungal diseases - every day rubbing the skin folds between the toes with a disinfectant solution: 0, 5% potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate), 2-3% formalin; soap paste, boric acid. You can also pour the folds of skin mashed in the dust-dry tinder fungus, fireweed fluff (willow-herb), sphagnum moss.

Sphagnum moss is widespread in the swamps, it has a red or yellow hue. his tear, cleaned of rough bottom of the stem, squeeze hands and dried in air. then ground, to do as gently as possible and gentler. This moss absorbs moisture and contains substances, killing microflora festering wounds, scratch, cuts.

If the legs still were erased, must pierce the skin disinfected with bubbles needle fluid, squeeze out the liquid with clean hands and without breaking the skin to lubricate the affected places Vishnevsky ointment or salve sintomitsinovoy. Then lay on top of the pad, swab and bandage (either seal the plaster). Bleeding rubbing treated with boric acid or potassium permanganate, at worst triple cologne (slightly diluted with boiled water) and sprinkled streptotsidom. Speaking of pads. It is desirable to have in your first-aid kit a few feminine hygiene packages, available on the market today everywhere. Many examples of such packages are very convenient for use in the field as bandages and tampons. Especially when abrasions feet, shoulders or around the crotch area.

Thirdly, do not forget about the shoulders. Scout has to bear the dozens of kilograms of cargo: weapon, ammunition, explosives, food, devices (eg, radio or video camera), equipment.

Therefore, we should as much as possible carefully customized to the body belts, buckle, backpack, pouches, and everything else. It is expedient to "amplify" uniform in the shoulders and neck special pads on top and inside pads (can be hemming women's above-mentioned gasket). At every halt a large check the status of their shoulders. Preventive measures against them the same, and that the leg.

Care of clothing and footwear shoe should always be carefully monitored, especially when operating in wet climates and winter. Shoes need to increasingly dry, being careful, since rapid drying (fire with fire, at a hot stove) it may deteriorate, as well as when leaving the cold wet shoes. A good way of drying is heated filling shoe (So, that did not burn) pebbles, sand, small stones. Footwear can fill the paper, dry hay or moss - this contributes to drying and prevents deformation. Permissible in extreme cases putting wet boots (boot) Dry socks and foot wraps, but not vice versa.

Regularly lubricate the shoes with a thin layer of shoe polish. Shoe cream can be replaced with unsalted bacon, tar, fat waterfowl (fish), raw soap, vegetable oil. For tar need to heat the bark in the pot on the fire until, until dark liquid was distilled.

When carrying loads correctly fill a backpack (satchel): small items need to be laid to the back, solid and heavy - in the lower half of the backpack. Backpack straps customize for growth so, to its lower edge (fixed load) adjoined to the sacrum. Fitted thus a satchel does not beat on the back and pulls the shoulders are not too. At heavy load (more 20 kg) you need to take care of the pad under the shoulder straps (foam, felt, moss, etc.. d.).

In winter, you need to carefully monitor the serviceability of clothes, keep it dry and protected from the burning. The most common cause wetting of clothes is heavy sweating. When it appears, remove excess clothing (necessarily maintaining upper layer windproof), reduce physical stress, if you can. Outfit with a long-acting, especially in cold climates, be dry, posting at the top shelter, pre flicking. If it is impossible to wash linen and clothes need to shake, and then hang on 1, 5-2 hours outdoors. In order to blizzard (Purge) to outfit the snow did not stick and it does not get wet, it is recommended to wear over the bathrobes, cape, made from parachute fabric. This also provided a disguise.

Remember, what: - tight fit reduces the still air zone around the body and prevents the free circulation; - sweating dangerous, because it reduces the insulating capacity of clothing, saturating the air with moisture. When the moisture evaporates, body cools.

Prevent overheating, removing the piece of clothing and undoing it in the neck, wrists and chest; - hands and feet cool faster, than other parts of the body, and they should pay more attention. close hands, as much as possible. Hands can warm up under the armpits, on the inner thigh or breast. Since the legs quickly sweat, warm them hard. It is better to wear shoes larger image, to be able to put at least two footcloths (sock). Warm double toe can do, if you put between a pair of socks dry grass, moss and feathers; - the greatest heat losses occur in the head region. Never forget a good hat.

In the subtropics, and in the middle lane in marshes and woods hot summer Scout is attacked by hordes of insects (mosquitoes, gadfly, horseflies, flies, axis, hornets, mosquitoes, etc.. d.). Therefore, it should be: - clothing such strength, that it is not torn while driving through thick bushes and undergrowth; - net and gloves for protection against insects; - sleeves and trouser legs, free enough for filling them into gloves and socks; Mesh screens must be light, t. to. mosquitoes and many other insects are afraid of bright colors Dark colors attract them.

In desert and steppe areas cover the head and body during the day. Wear long pants and long-sleeved shirt. A piece of cloth cover the neck from the sun. If you want to throw anything from clothes, consider, that cold night in the desert. Clothing should be loose. Remove it only in the shade, as even reflected sunlight can cause burns.

Shake out the sand and insects from shoes and socks, even if it has to make frequent stops.

If you do not have boots, take over the winding boot of any available material. For this purpose, two cut strip width 7-10 cm and a length 120 cm. Wrap their legs in the form of a spiral on top of your existing shoes. This will prevent it from falling into the sand.

Do not try to walk barefoot. The sand can rub his feet. Besides, barefoot movement of saline or dirt can cause alkali burns.

To protect the eyes from solar radiation should wear dark sunglasses. In case of their absence (losses) you can make a tape with slits for the eyes of any solid matter (eg, of tilts). The edges of the slots can blacken with soot from the fire, a ribbon tied to the back of the head node, either fixed ribbons.

Food hygiene Beware of gastrointestinal diseases and disorders. Not biting his nails, Do not eat with dirty hands (least, carefully wipe their hands before eating a clean, dry grass or leaves).
